Entrepreneurship Education: Examining Long-Term Effects of a Practical Program Implemented in Children

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education (EE) plays a crucial role in equipping individuals with the necessary competences to thrive in an increasingly dynamic and competitive world. By fostering entrepreneurial competencies, recognizing individual abilities, and promoting innovation and creativity, EE contributes to personal growth, employability, and economic development. This document presents an analysis conducted on the entrepreneurial competencies (EC) of students in San Quintin, Baja California, Mexico, who have participated in a practical EE program over the past 5 years. To conduct the analysis, a questionnaire was administered to both a control group and an experimental group, and the data were captured in the SPSS V23 software for interpretation. The results demonstrate a significant correlation between EE programs and EC developed by the students in the experimental group. Therefore, it is recommended to promote and sustain such initiatives, aiming for their long-term continuity, strengthening, and growth.
