The formation of human capital through quality basic education is crucial in achieving high levels of economic development. It lays the base for general skills that are significant for further education and training. Thus, the government should ensure that the educational system assists learners to adapt to the changing nature of innovation from the very start. This necessitates curricular programs and educational paradigm that will facilitate students with the capability to learn, acquire and apply new skills throughout their lives. A focus shall be geared towards the development of critical and creative thinking skills, and skills for numeracy, communication and teamwork, in addition to domain-specific and linguistic skills. Any system of education and training should build within people the foundations to learn and develop the broad range of skills needed for innovation and with the flexibility to upgrade skills and adapt to changing economic conditions. For instance, the Philippine educational system should lay the base upon which people can build a culture of entrepreneurship by instilling the attitudes and skills needed for the development of creative agri-based entrepreneurs. This paper provides perspectives on the potential of cultivating a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation among students. It argues for the crucial role of entrepreneurship and economic education in the development of knowledge, competencies and skills to enable that students appreciate the role of enterprise in wealth, value and employment creation. Utilizing the analysis of data based on the trends and patterns of the results of the National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE) conducted by the Department of Education (DepEd), this paper highlights some points for policies and curricular reforms that will support the process of unleashing the entrepreneurial mindset of the students. Based on the NCAE results, the inclination of graduating high school students is geared towards entrepreneurship. This calls for curricular programs and policies designed for them to confront challenges and opportunities for becoming an entrepreneur and in developing a gainful self-employment career. For instance, policies and strategies that will enhance school-industry partnership, human resource development planning and career guidance and counseling must be put in place. Efforts towards these directions will greatly reduce laborskills mismatch and unemployment problems.
