Abstract

Entrepreneurial intention plays a crucial role in creating new entrepreneurs, as it serves as a foundation that directs individuals to start and develop their ventures. Although many studies have attempted to examine the significance of entrepreneurial intention among students, the existing literature lacks a comprehensive analysis of how entrepreneurial education impacts students' entrepreneurial intention in schools. Therefore, this study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature on the role of entrepreneurial education in strengthening students' entrepreneurial intentions. This study applies the PRISMA framework to ensure clear and comprehensive reporting of systematic reviews through three stages: identification, screening, and eligibility assessment. There were 62 articles analyzed during the 2012-2023 publication period. This study was conducted through a comprehensive search of academic search engines and meticulously selected, impartial journals. The findings of this study reveal that several key factors, including education, environmental support, personal traits, and entrepreneurial skills, influence students' entrepreneurial intentions. Finally, this study offers suggestions for future research directions to address the identified knowledge gaps efficiently.
