Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the comparative study of entrepreneurship education in the countries of Iran, Japan, Holland, England and America, which is done using the descriptive-comparative method and relying on the indicators adopted by the researcher, so that we can learn from the experience of this countries in the field of entrepreneurship education in Iran's educational system. The results of the research showed that Iran does not have a coherent and coordinated program in the field of entrepreneurship education, and this can be analyzed to a large extent in the culture and topics of dependence on the government. The country of Japan has not had the necessary entrepreneurship education and Lee 2014, the EDGE and then EDGE-NEXT (2017) policy initiatives were implemented to address deficiencies in entrepreneurship education. In the Netherlands, entrepreneurship is the basis on which the Dutch economy is built. Entrepreneurship, the cause of creating employment, productivity and innovation; And also, it causes the prosperity of the country. Therefore, the Dutch government values entrepreneurship. The turning points of the Dutch entrepreneurship policy have happened in ten years (2005-2015) and the government has paid attention to both education and entrepreneurship market issues through various programs. Vocational education in the UK focuses mainly on the learning phase and covers a wide range of rich content. This educational course during the academic period forms the educational program system of entrepreneurial awareness, entrepreneurial knowledge and entrepreneurial career. Entrepreneurial educational activities in England are based on science and technology parks. The United States is the first country that started entrepreneurship education and has gradually experienced this expansion and maturity in this field and has succeeded in forming an ecosystem of entrepreneurship education. National Entrepreneurship Education Consortium is the main institution in entrepreneurship education with a history of 28 years in this field, which provides entrepreneurship education at the levels (K-16 elementary to middle school) and adults. These findings in relation to Iran and compared to the model of entrepreneurship education in other countries, indicate that the reasons for the lack of growth of entrepreneurship in Iran are divided into three categories: national, organizational and individual factors. Meanwhile, despite the existence of inadequacies in the national and organizational structure, individual factors and lack of socialization from the aspect of entrepreneurship in the educational system, especially higher education, have been the main reasons for the lack of entrepreneurship growth.
