Abstract

Meeting new challenges calls for new priorities in education. It means an interactive style
and education based on individual needs and abilities that should provide a completely new
dimension of gaining knowledge and make learning a more convenient process. The course
curricula have to be devised in view of the experience acquired from either the entrepreneurial
environment or any other environment, depending on the type of the curriculum.
It is necessary to stress that there is little documented evidence of what speciic factors within
the curricula are effective in fostering entrepreneurial abilities in students through education
and by raising entrepreneurial intentions after students’ graduation. Our research investigates
ive main questions: (i) What is the meaning of freedom in learning? (ii) What does freedom
in learning mean to students? (iii)What should be done to increase freedom in learning
and foster individuality? (iv) How can we encourage the entrepreneurial abilities of students
through education with focus on women? and (v) In what direction should educational strategies
be developed? The research methodology in this research is qualitative in nature. This
approach involves carrying out in-depth interviews with respondents from different countries
all around the world (respondents were mainly from Serbia, Iran, India, USA, Nigeria, Canada,
China, Pakistan, and Philippines).
Our research shows that the modern business environment should be accompanied by the
change in educational environment. Namely, it is necessary to offer multi-dimensional relationships
between course concepts on entrepreneurship and the community based on entrepreneurial
experiences. The new educational strategy also needs freedom in learning and
teaching and an active mode of learning inluences innovative personality development,
which creates something unique and turns it into an entrepreneurial activity. Furthermore,
the new entrepreneurship educational strategy should provide a more women-centered
approach. It is also impossible to achieve all new educational advantages without close
relationships between governments, schools and women’s organizations. In other words, only
their synergies allow the education system to be eficient and can bring prosperity for women.
