Entrepreneurship Education for Sustainable Development: Implications for School Administrators

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education is widely acknowledged as a key driver of sustainable development, 
and its successful implementation in schools necessitates effective resource and capability 
management. The Resource-Based Theory is used to examine the implications of entrepreneurship 
education for school administrators in this paper. The theory emphasizes the importance of 
effective resource and capability management in achieving long-term competitive advantage. This 
means that, in the context of entrepreneurship education, schools must provide adequate resources 
and support to teachers and students or them to develop the skills and knowledge required for longterm entrepreneurship, such as access to mentorship, networks, and financial resources. The paper 
emphasizes the role of school administrators in promoting entrepreneurship education by aligning 
educational practices such as active learning, collaboration learning, inquiry-based learning, 
experiential learning etc, with prevalent values of sustainable development, creating an 
environment conducive to innovation and creativity, and ensuring that students have access to the 
resources they need to develop their entrepreneurial abilities. The paper concludes by emphasizing 
the potential benefits of entrepreneurship education for students, such as the development of critical 
thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a sense of social responsibility, which are all 
necessary for long term entrepreneurship capabilities.
