Entrepreneurial education in modern national economies: expert opinions

The purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of implementing the main directions of entrepreneurial education in 54 countries, according to experts from these countries. The study is based on information provided in the report on the Global entrepreneurship monitoring project for 2018. In the course of the research, models were developed that describe the performance indicators of two areas: teaching entrepreneurship to schoolchildren and entrepreneurial education of adults, including professional and higher education. The density functions of the normal distribution are used as models. The results of the study allowed us to determine average values and ranges of variation for most countries the values of the indicators on a scale of ten experts opinions about the effectiveness realized in modern economies, directions of entrepreneurship education. Countries with high and low values of each indicator were identified. It is shown that higher efficiency ratings are noted for the entrepreneurial education of adults. Experts were more pessimistic about the achievements in the field of entrepreneurial training of schoolchildren. A comparative analysis of the values of these indicators for Russia and foreign countries is given. It is proved that the values of each of the considered indicators are significantly differentiated across 54 countries. The absence of links between the values of each of the considered indicators and such factors as the level of income of the population in specific countries and their geographical location is confirmed.
