  abstract = {In a world context of transition from a resource-based economy to a knowledge-based economy, marked by the strong progression of information technologies and the fourth industrial revolution, entrepreneurship education and the support to entrepreneurial students are heralded in a very optimistic and voluntary manner at the political, economic, academic and media levels. It is seen as a way to transform individuals, local ecosystems and societies in a manner where entrepreneurship creates value and well-being. In fact, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor - an international entrepreneurship indicator - considers entrepreneurship education as one of the 9 framework conditions for the evolution of entrepreneurship. Therefore, the development of the entrepreneurial educational ecosystem is believed to influence cultural values and to foster the economic development of a nation. For this reason, the following question is asked: how can education foster entrepreneurship in Morocco? Hence, this paper aims firstly to present some theoretical guidelines on entrepreneurship education; and then through semi-structured interviews, to explore the current state of entrepreneurship in Morocco and the training needed to improve the entrepreneurial educational ecosystem from the perspective of Moroccan entrepreneurs.},
