Abstract
-
This study explored the nature of entrepreneurial education in the selected Agriculture Training Institutions
(ATIs) for the Ministry of Agriculture and Live stocks in Zambia. To do this, the study explored
Entrepreneurial Education challenges and opportunities in ATIs, widely acknowledged as a transformative
tool for job creation in the country. The argument is that if entrepreneurship education is properly enhanced
can provide self-reliance in the Zambia’s agriculture sector to attain sustainable socio-economic growth.
The aim of the study was to explore the nature of entrepreneurial education in ATIs curricula; identify
challenges, opportunities and ways to promote innovation and job creation through the provision of
entrepreneurial education in the selected ATIs in Zambia. The study employed a mixed data collection
process through purposive sampling procedures. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically while
Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, graphs and
tables. The findings show that the current ATI curricula and the National Agricultural Policy (NAP) did not
adequately address entrepreneurial education in the agriculture sector because they were loosely developed
and were production oriented. The study recommended inter alia that ATIs should create curricula that
prioritize creativity, and innovation, utilizing blended interactive and reflective teaching methods to support
entrepreneurial education.
Keywords: Entrepreneurial education, Agriculture Training Institutions (ATIs), Ministry of Corruption,
National agriculture policy.
