Qualitative research reveals business education enhances entrepreneurial skills in Uganda, suggesting reforms in curricula are needed.
Uganda faces significant challenges in fostering entrepreneurship, which can contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction. A qualitative research design was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 30 participants from various educational backgrounds in Uganda. Participants highlighted the importance of practical training over theoretical knowledge in developing successful entrepreneurial skills. Business education plays a vital role in shaping attitudes towards entrepreneurship and providing essential business acumen to graduates. Educational institutions should integrate more hands-on learning experiences into their curricula to better prepare students for the realities of starting businesses.
