"The main business of the university is the preparation of good personnel"
The features of the paradigm of entrepreneurial education are the transition from passive perception of knowledge to learning through the implementation of real projects and the reproduction of new knowledge, as well as the continuity of the learning process in time and space, since a person can learn at any time and any place as the need for new knowledge and skills arises. ...
Now, universities are recognized to become a source of new knowledge and technologies, in this context, entrepreneurial education is one of the most dynamically developing areas of activity of the Eurasian National University named after L.N. Gumilyov (hereinafter - ENU named after L.N. Gumilyov).
Currently, there is an active rethinking of the role of the department in the formation of society and economy, which would be based on knowledge.
