Abstract

The rise of innovation-driven economies has necessitated a paradigm shift in teaching practices, particularly in preparing learners for entrepreneurship from an early stage. This study explores how teachers perceive entrepreneurship, the empowerment strategies they desire, and the educational management approaches necessary to institutionalize entrepreneurial teaching in primary and secondary schools. Using a survey design, data were collected from teachers across five schools in Enugu State: Enugu Preparatory College, Excellent Child New Haven, Godfrey Okoye University Crèche, and Lily Pinnacle Nursery, Primary and Secondary Schools. The questionnaire responses were analyzed using mean and standard deviation, with a 2.5 cut-off point. Results indicate that while teachers generally understand the relevance of entrepreneurship to learner development, their capacity to teach it is limited by inadequate support, lack of continuous training, and minimal participation in decision-making. Empowerment through mentorship, resource access, and inclusive planning were highly desired. The study recommends that school administrators and policymakers invest in sustainable teacher development programs, schoolbased mentorship systems, and institutional reforms that enable flexible, project-based entrepreneurial instruction. These findings offer critical insight into fostering an enabling environment where teachers can effectively deliver entrepreneurship education to meet the needs of today’s learners.
