Abstract

This research aims to look at the prospects of entrepreneurship education in Pakistan post-covid. New entrepreneurial education approaches are required to address the effects of COVID-19 globally. To achieve this, this study explicates the way new strategies for explaining how the COVID-19 pandemic might make entrepreneurial education research an evolutional field. The study found that several assumptions have transformed due to the COVID-19 impact, and entrepreneurship education is essential in combating the pandemic. Therefore, this study argues that further research on entrepreneurship education that integrates a COVID-19 setting is important in opening new views and changing the study agenda. An enhanced investigation of how mechanisms of response, such as change and recovery, are assumed to propel entrepreneurial stakeholders to adopt the perception that entrepreneurship education is an extensive process. As a result, the COVID-19 situation is viewed as a chance of highlighting the worth of entrepreneurial education for society.
