INTRODUCTION
In Global
In developed nations such as the United States and members of the European Union,
entrepreneurship education is integrated into various educational frameworks from an
early age. Programs like Junior Achievement Worldwide provide experiential learning
opportunities that encourage young people to engage in entrepreneurial activities.
In Africa
1
Across Africa, there is a growing recognition of the role that entrepreneurship education
plays in fostering self-employment. The African Union’s Agenda 2063 highlights the
importance of promoting entrepreneurship as a means to achieve sustainable development
and economic transformation across the continent. Various countries have implemented
policies aimed at enhancing entrepreneurial skills through formal education systems.2000s:
A surge in research focused on developing countries highlighted how tailored
entrepreneurship programs could address local economic challenges.
For instance, countries like Kenya and Nigeria have developed robust entrepreneurship
curricula within their higher education institutions. Research indicates that students who
receive formal training in entrepreneurship are more likely to start their own businesses
compared to those who do not receive such training. A study conducted by the African
Development Bank (AfDB) found that entrepreneurship education significantly contributes
to job creation and economic resilience in African economies.
In Tanzania
The increasing rate of unemployment and underemployment in many economies has led to
a growing interest in entrepreneurship as a viable solution for economic development.
Entrepreneurship education (EE) is recognized as a critical factor in fostering
entrepreneurial skills and mindsets among individuals, particularly students and young
adults. This research aims to assess how entrepreneurship education contributes to
creating self-employment opportunities.
2
The core problem this research addresses is the lack of empirical evidence linking
entrepreneurship education directly to the creation of self-employment opportunities.
While numerous studies suggest that EE can foster entrepreneurial intentions, there is
limited data on how these intentions translate into actual self-employment outcomes. This
gap necessitates an assessment of various factors influencing this relationship
To identify the skills and competencies developed through entrepreneurship education that
are most beneficial for self-employment
What skills and competencies acquired from entrepreneurship education are most critical
for successful self-employment?
3
In what ways does experiential learning within entrepreneurship education programs affect
students' desire and capability to start their own business?
The researcher plays a crucial role in advancing knowledge within the field of
entrepreneurship education. By assessing the contributions of such education towards self-
employment opportunities, the researcher can

CHAPTER TWO
This chapter provided a review of the previous studies relevant to this study on the
factors influencing workers in improving public organization.It also contained
definition of key terms, theoretical review, conceptual framework and research gap .

2.1 Definition of key terms
2.1.1 Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship refers to the process of designing, launching, and running a new business,
typically a startup offering a product, service, or process. It involves identifying market
opportunities, assembling resources, and taking on financial risks in the hope of profit.
Entrepreneurs are often seen as innovators who drive economic growth by creating jobs and
fostering competition. According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM),
entrepreneurship is crucial for economic development as it contributes to job creation and
innovation (GEM, 2023).
2.1.2 Education
Education is the systematic process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes through
various forms such as teaching, training, or research. It encompasses formal education provided
by schools and universities as well as informal learning experiences. The United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) defines education as a fundamental
human right that promotes personal development and social cohesion (UNESCO, 2023).
Education plays a vital role in empowering individuals and enhancing their ability to contribute
effectively to society.
2.1.4 Employment
Employment refers to the state of having paid work or being engaged in productive activities
that generate income. It encompasses various forms of work arrangements including full-time
jobs, part-time jobs, freelance work, and self-employment. Employment is a critical component
of economic stability and personal livelihood; it provides individuals with financial resources
while contributing to overall economic growth. The International Labour Organization (ILO)
highlights that decent employment is essential for achieving sustainable development goals
(ILO, 2023).
According to Deci and Ryan (1985) in their Self-Determination Theory, posits that intrinsic
motivation is crucial for fostering entrepreneurial intentions. Individuals who engage in
entrepreneurship education often develop a greater sense of autonomy and competence,
which can enhance their intrinsic motivation to pursue self-employment. Research indicates
that students exposed to entrepreneurship education exhibit higher levels of entrepreneurial
intention and are more likely to start their own businesses (Fayolle & Gailly, 2015). This
suggests that entrepreneurship education not only imparts knowledge but also cultivates the
motivational drivers necessary for self-employment.
primarily developed by Locke and Latham (1990), emphasizes the importance of setting specific
and challenging goals to enhance performance. In the context of entrepreneurship education,
students learn to set realistic business goals and develop strategic plans to achieve them. This
process not only clarifies their aspirations but also provides a roadmap for transitioning from
education to self-employment. Empirical studies have shown that individuals who set clear
entrepreneurial goals during their educational journey are more likely to engage in self-
employment activities post-graduation (Katz & Green, 2017).
Behavioral theories focus on the actions and behaviors that lead individuals toward
entrepreneurship. According to Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior (1991), attitudes toward
behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly influence
entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurship education plays a critical role in shaping these
factors by providing knowledge about business practices, enhancing confidence through skill
development, and fostering supportive networks among peers. Studies have demonstrated that
students who participate in entrepreneurship programs report increased confidence in their
ability to start a business, which correlates with higher rates of self-employment (Souitaris et
al., 2007).
According to Bandura, A. (1977) Social learning theory posits that individuals learn behaviors
and skills through the observation of others, especially role models. In the context of
6
entrepreneurship education, students may learn vital entrepreneurial skills by observing
successful entrepreneurs, seeking mentorship, and collaborating with peers. This process can
instill confidence and skills necessary for self-employment, as students emulate the behaviors
of successful entrepreneurs.
Empirical studies often show a positive correlation between entrepreneurship education and
the intention to engage in self-employment. Research by Souitaris, Zerbinati, and Al-Laham
(2007) indicates that students who receive formal entrepreneurship education demonstrate
higher entrepreneurial intentions than those who do not. This suggests that structured
programs can effectively motivate individuals to consider self-employment as a viable career
option.
To the model of conceptual framework for the study based it has independent
variable that is creation of self employment opportunities and dependent variable is
entrepreneurship education
Financial rewards
Entrepreneurship education has gained significant attention over the past few decades as a
means to foster self-employment and innovation. Historically, entrepreneurship was often
viewed as an innate skill rather than a discipline that could be taught. However, recent trends
indicate a shift towards recognizing the importance of structured educational programs in
cultivating entrepreneurial skills (Fayolle & Gailly, 2015).
In the past, particularly before the 1980s, entrepreneurship education was largely informal and
primarily focused on practical experience rather than formalized curricula. Many aspiring
entrepreneurs learned through apprenticeships or family businesses without any structured
educational framework (Kuratko, 2005). This lack of formal education often resulted in varying
levels of preparedness among individuals entering self-employment.
8
The late 20th century marked a turning point with the establishment of dedicated
entrepreneurship programs in universities and colleges worldwide. These programs aimed to
equip students with essential skills such as business planning, financial management, and
marketing strategies (Gorman et al., 1997). The introduction of these programs has been linked
to increased rates of self-employment among graduates who feel more prepared to start their
own businesses.
