Abstract
Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to measure the entrepreneurial competences of primary school students in Greece and to examine their potential in becoming entrepreneurs in the future. The study used official data from 358 students of Primary Schools in the prefecture of Western Macedonia in Greece. The analysis was focused on the measurement of student’s entrepreneurial competences by measuring their cognitive entrepreneurial skills (Knowledge) and their non cognitive entrepreneurial skills (attitudes and skills) and also their willingness to become entrepreneurs. Results show the 51.6 % of the students are not negative for an entrepreneurial initiative in the future. Also, students have developed a good level of knowledge in the entrepreneurial field answering correctly more than half of the cognitive questions (54.75%). Concerning the non cognitive skills, the skills of Pro-activity, Persistence, Need for Achievement, Social Orientation, Motivating, Self Efficacy and Analyzing are the most developed skills in a level more than 60 % while the skills of creativity (57.03%) and Risk Taking (16.93%) seem weaker.
