Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 02
Abstract
A survey was conducted to investigate how provisions for entrepreneurship education (EE) correlate the engagement of pupils in state primary schools in entrepreneurship in Calabar Metropolis, Cross River State, Nigeria. Three research questions and hypotheses were formulated at .05 level of significance for the study. 800 pupils, including 400 boys and 400 girls, were recruited to participate via cluster sampling. Data was gathered from respondents using the entrepreneurship education and pupil engagement questionnaire (EEPEQ). Based on the Schumpeter effect and human capital theories, the SPSS was deployed to analyse data using the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. Findings indicate that the development of creative skills, innovative abilities and personal grit have a correlation with pupils’ engagements in entrepreneurial activities. It is recommended thus: a revision of the curriculum of primary education to feature EE; the recruitment of competent teachers to teach EE is important, teaching and learning of the subject should be practical and action based; and that well fitted entrepreneurship workshops be built in primary schools to facilitate practical engagements of pupils in EE.
