Abstract

Education is the most important issue for nations. Higher education, among the educational process, is the most important determiner for the future of Nations. The ability of the nations to prosper and to thrive in an increasingly knowledge-based global society and economy largely depends on having a progressively well-educated population. The profound changes in the economy and the labor market in the past ten years and, consequently, in the competencies required by employers, have begun to have a serious impact on higher education institutions, whose primary mission is to qualify students by equipping them to meet the challenges ahead, both life and work. Challenges posed by globalization, fierce competition, frequent job changes, the growing need to create one's own job or to work outside one's home province or country, the importance of the appropriate behavior, new technologies, knowledge of English which is considered to be the medium of international communication and/or a second or third language became sine qua non which cannot be ignored by educational institutions and students. Close relationship between economics and the education for work force emerged as a result of this massive change caused in paying more emphasis to the philosophy of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial culture and became one of the indispensable values of educational systems. Considering the "silo" type of education and teaching common in our schools, it becomes clearer how far we are away from the realities of the present time. This article discusses the basic topics such as: what is entrepreneurship? Why is entrepreneurship important? Is entrepreneurship a teachable skill? Why do we need entrepreneurial teaching and Faculty members?
