To mitigate these challenges, governments have implemented economic aid strategies, increasingly focusing on entrepreneurship to drive both immediate and long-term economic growth. This strategic pivot highlights the significant role of entrepreneurial activities in promoting national prosperity. Governments are adopting various laws and regulations to support and empower entrepreneurs, recognizing the advantages of a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem. A lack of entrepreneurial mindset, particularly among youth, risks brain drains and hinders national economic advancement, emphasizing the need to cultivate such a mindset for sustained economic vitality. This study examines the relationship between four independent variables which are attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and self-efficacy on entrepreneurial mindset, mediated by entrepreneurial education.
