Entrepreneurship education plays a strategic role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by developing students' entrepreneurial skills, knowledge, and mindset. This study analyzes its effectiveness in public high schools in Mojokerto using a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and documentation. Findings show that entrepreneurship education functions as both an “agent of change” and an “agent of producing,” fostering independent, innovative, and sustainability-minded youth. It raises awareness, builds interest, and equips students with relevant skills. However, challenges include limited teacher training and curriculum-business alignment. Recommendations involve enhancing practical learning, curriculum adaptation, school-industry collaboration, and teacher capacity building.
