摘要：A growing body of academic research has examined the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education with the aim of raising students’ awareness of self-employment as a career option and creating an enterprising culture amongst them. The move towards self-employment is, and will continue to become, an increasingly important element of economic growth and development. This paper aims to explore and investigate entrepreneurship education at Botswana’s two universities to determine and evaluate its effectiveness. In the process of selecting the research population, 400 students were identified within two universities. A convenient sampling approach was used to select the respondents and a self-administered questionnaire with closed questions was used to collect data. The results indicate that entrepreneurship education is not appropriately developed in Botswana to effectively equip students with entrepreneurial skills and competencies that will help them to choose entrepreneurship as a career option. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the state of entrepreneurship education in Botswana to create a platform for further research in the area of entrepreneurship education, particularly at higher education level. The findings provide useful information on effective teaching methods in the area of entrepreneurship.
