A systematic review of the determinants of successful entrepreneurship education across universities in South Africa

Worldwide, successful entrepreneurship education in universities is evaluated through many indicators, such as entrepreneurial skills, attitudes, behaviour, and entrepreneurialism. Understanding the determinants of successful entrepreneurship education can assist curriculum designers and policymakers in terms of institutional investment in curriculum development. This literature review-based study extracted, discussed, interpreted, and analysed determinants such as institutional support, family support, awareness, and access to learning resources from secondary sources using ATLAS.ti software. Results indicated that entrepreneurial skills, attitude, and entrepreneurialism were higher in universities with resources. For the above reasons, it becomes increasingly necessary for universities to suggest pathways for creating and implementing a successful entrepreneurship education. This study suggests that universities can enhance the success of entrepreneurship education by investing in financial support for students and staff, attracting experienced and qualified staff, attracting the best students, and offering practical experience.
