Entrepreneurship education is fostered at the higher education level and as early as the secondary school level in Malaysia. Malaysia takes this matter seriously and through the Ministry of Education (MOE), entrepreneurship-related subjects such as business and accounting are incorporated into the curriculum. The components of trade and entrepreneurship applied to students aim to educate them in practising fundamental business principles, enabling them to act as responsible consumers or producers in line with business values and ethics. Therefore, this study aims to explore the level of understanding of Entrepreneurship Education among students in National Secondary Schools in Perlis state. This study involved 266 students from 13 secondary schools in Perlis. The study found that the majority of students understand the entrepreneurship learning they have received and perceive business as a good opportunity to venture into. Thus, to encourage student involvement in entrepreneurship, schools and the Ministry of Education need to provide practical training to motivate them to pursue entrepreneurship.
