Abstract: Higher institutions of education in Ghana have been greatly criticised and outright indicted for their outmoded and vaguely relevant curriculum, purportedly churning out graduates who lack the desired employable skills in the world of work. Therefore, the purpose of the current paper is to propose a curriculum framework for entrepreneurship education in Ghana aimed at promoting graduate employability and fostering the spirit and practice of entrepreneurship. The proposed curriculum was established based on the assumption that every student needs to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitude of entrepreneurship. Pedagogical strategies for the implementation of the entrepreneurship curriculum are discussed. For the proposed curriculum to be effectively operationalised, the paper suggests that the government, policymakers, higher education institutions and businesses all have a role to play in encouraging greater support for entrepreneurship in the tertiary education sector.
