Entrepreneurship development in Malaysia has received much attention since the launch of the New Economic Policy (NEP) was made a major national agenda through a two-pronged approach to poverty eradication and societal restructuring. However, the goal of creating and developing a group of viable and competitive commercial and industrial societies has yet to be achieved. In this context, the National Entrepreneurship Policy 2030 (DKN) was created and made the backbone of all strategies for forming an entrepreneurial nation. Therefore, the formation of a Schoolpreneur model can catalyse the production of high-quality and credible young entrepreneurs in the future. Therefore, this paper discusses the determinants in the entrepreneurial ecosystem that are appropriate for the secondary school environment and proposes a conceptual framework of the secondary school model of entrepreneurship that will help improve the effectiveness of school entrepreneurship.
