As a result of the aforementioned, the paper has investigated entrepreneurial education in the European Union in detail, which is the main goal of this thesis. The importance of education for entrepreneurship is widely recognized throughout Europe because quality education and training are key elements for guiding the entrepreneurial way of thinking in society. In recent decades, especially after the global crisis of 2008, entrepreneurship and innovation have become one of the main concepts in business areas and public development policies. However, while the United States of America, Canada and other countries around the world have many years of experience with entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurship programs in Europe began to enter the curriculum only at the end of the 1990s, and only in 2018 did the European Commission explicitly link entrepreneurial competence with self-awareness. ethical principles and reflection. Entrepreneurial education at the level of the European Union is extremely important, but still insufficiently represented, especially when looking at the formal forms of education at the elementary and secondary school levels.
