Abstract

In this final chapter, Crammond reflects on the main points from this book, in assisting productive and progressive teaching and support for entrepreneurship education. Ways in which educators, learning supporters, and researchers can move forward in the teaching and support of entrepreneurship education are discussed. This includes assessing theoretical advancements such as rethinking for, and refreshing, the modern classroom. Also, engaging with preferred practices, and reaffirming university and governmental policy, which strengthens ties between education, industry, and society in general. Products of entrepreneurship education, including the heightening of international and industry awareness, to responsive and community-centric education, are also appreciated as the taught field advances.

Institutional support, and boundless vision, strengthens the entrepreneurial endeavour.
