Why is entrepreneurial education important? Studies show that 6 out of 10 young Americans want to be in business for themselves VISA/NFIB survey of educators and guidance counselors found that the entrepreneurial spirit is alive in students Most students don’t know where to go for advice on turning ideas into reality 64% felt high schools should offer basic “how to” classes on starting a business Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership found that 85 percent of students said they were taught little or nothing about how business works
