The Impact of Government Curriculum Policies on High School Students’ Entrepreneurial Intention and Future Career Choices

Abstract

This study explores the impact of government curriculum policies on high school students' entrepreneurial intentions and future career choices. With the increasing emphasis on entrepreneurship education, the research examines how these policies influence students' perspectives on business ventures and career development. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews with 500 high school students, the study reveals that government initiatives have a positive effect on students' entrepreneurial intentions, particularly in schools with dedicated entrepreneurship tracks and hands-on learning experiences. However, challenges such as limited resources, curriculum overload, and inadequate teacher training were identified as barriers to the full potential of these policies. The findings suggest that while government efforts have made strides in fostering entrepreneurial mindsets, greater investment in resources, teacher development, and industry partnerships is needed to further enhance the impact of entrepreneurship education.
