Résumé

Entrepreneurship education has been implemented at numerous higher education institutions to provide students with the skills and knowledge for pursuing entrepreneurship as a career. Nevertheless, several problems confront entrepreneurship education, despite its recognised benefits among students. This study sought to identify the obstacles in entrepreneurship education that impede student entrepreneurial development at the University of Venda. The research employed a qualitative design to fulfil its purpose. The targeted population consisted of University of Venda student-entrepreneurs engaged in entrepreneurship education programs and those enrolled in entrepreneurship courses. A convenience sample method was employed to choose 10 participants, and data were gathered using semi-structured face-to-face and telephone interviews in alignment with the research objectives. The gathered data was evaluated thematically utilising Atlas.ti version 8.4. The findings revealed the obstacles confronting entrepreneurship education, which include budgetary limits, insufficient funding, and unsuitable teaching techniques. This research is one of the few that have recognised the obstacles of entrepreneurship education for students. A mixed-method research strategy is advisable for a comprehensive comprehension of the topic.
