摘要

The research synthesises the factors that affect the effectiveness of teaching and learning of entrepreneurship education (EE) in higher educational institutions (HEIs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), highlighting gaps and potential areas for improvement. This scoping review adapts the Arksey and O'Malley (2005) framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines to systematically synthesise the barriers to EE in SSA's higher educational institutions. The literature from five databases and institutional repositories (2000–2024) was screened with Boolean search strategies. The thematic analysis determined the factors, with qualitative synthesis providing detailed interpretation. The research pinpoints the barriers influencing EE in SSA HEIs, such as theory-based curricula, a lack of finance, poor university–industry–government cooperation, poor student support services, and institutional factors. Global comparisons place SSA behind North America, Europe, and some Asian countries in experiential learning, finance, and institutional support. The results call for curriculum reforms incorporating experiential learning, increased investment in EE in higher institutions, and stronger university–industry–government collaborations. Policy-makers in universities and entrepreneurs have to align EE to national economic agendas and increase mentorship and finance to improve EE in SSA HEIs. The research offers a critical examination of the influencing factors of EE in SSA HEIs and comparative observations from other regions. The paper adds to the literature by highlighting the factors related to context and suggesting bespoke strategies for stimulating EE to unlock a more practical and globally competitive entrepreneurial culture in SSA.
