ANÁLISIS SOBRE LA IMPORTANCIA DE LA FORMACIÓN EN EMPRENDIMENTO PARA LOS COLEGIOS PÚBLICOS UBICADOS EN EL MUNICIPIO DE YONDÓ, ANTIOQUIA.

Abstract

This article analyzes the importance of entrepreneurship education in public schools in the municipality of Yondó, Antioquia, as a key tool to foster the region's economic development. Using a descriptive approach that involved the participation of five public schools, the study identifies a disconnect between traditional education and the competencies required for entrepreneurship. The findings reveal barriers such as a lack of educational resources, geographic dispersion, and limited teacher training in innovative methodologies, which hinder students' ability to develop entrepreneurial skills and sustainable projects. The study emphasizes the need to integrate practical approaches into educational curricula, focusing on key areas such as financial management, marketing, and leadership, while promoting inclusive education that ensures equitable opportunities for all social sectors. It concludes that implementing strategies that include curriculum integration, teacher training, strategic partnerships, and the use of technology in Yondó’s public schools can bridge educational gaps, prepare young people for entrepreneurial challenges, and contribute to the region’s economic growth.
