Therefore, the real emergence of entrepreneurship education took place in the 1980s. Studies proposed that entrepreneurial programs should be designed so that potential entrepreneurs are aware of barriers to initiating their entrepreneurial careers and can devise ways to overcome them. * A two-continuum model of curricular design for entrepreneurship education has been proposed. This “structured–unstructured” continuum addressed various methods of transferring information and expertise. Among the methods he discussed were lectures, case studies, and feasibility plans. The second continuum included “entrepreneurial know-how/entrepreneurial know-who.”

There are several obstacles that need
