Introduction
aims to enhance learners’ basic skills, produce more competent citizens, and prepare
graduates for lifelong learning and employment. Senior High School “completes” basic
education by making sure that the high school graduate is equipped for work,
entrepreneurship, or higher education. This is a step up from the 10-year cycle where high
school graduates still need further education (and expenses) to be ready for the world.
At present, the Philippines is the last country in Asia and one of only three countries in the
world with a 10-year pre-university program. ABM is one of the strands that the program
is offering to SHS students which stands for Accounting, Business and Management. This
research is focused on Grade 12 ABM students of St. Dominic College of Asia. (DepEd
,2015)
The Grade 12 ABM students had been chosen as the respondents of the research which

Entrepreneurship and how it develops the skills and capacities of students. This aims to
seek the primary purpose of the entrepreneurship education and its impacts on Grade
12 ABM students.

the entrepreneurial skills of technical education students are significantly higher than
that of their counter parts in the science and vocational education programs, which
could be due to their higher technical skills compared to those in science and vocational
education.
Local Literature
entrepreneurship has been the long battlecry of various organizations, both private and
an important vehicle to economic advancement not only for developed nations but also
for developing countries (Temtime, Chinyoka, & Shunda, 2004). The small, budding start-
ups are the ultimate vehicle for entrepreneurship contributing to employment, social and
political stability, and innovative and competitive power (Thurik, & Wennekers, 2004).
Thus, it is vital to measure the entrepreneurial inclination among SHS students in order for
SHS faculty members, academic institutions offering SHS, and government agencies such
as DepEd and CHED to fully hone SHS students to become potential entrepreneurs.
However, in most studies and literatures, the essence of entrepreneurial inclination and
intentions are almost the same. Thus, the role of entrepreneurship education is a critical
factor in producing potential entrepreneurs. For instance, Keat, Selvarajah, and Meyer

Local Studies
Based on a local study conducted the results recommended that school policies
that may help encourage and support students’ entrepreneurial activities should be
made or adapted in order to convert their high level of perceived entrepreneurial skills
into something tangible (Malolos, 2017). It has been noted that entrepreneurship impacts
