Abstrakt: Despite its importance, entrepreneurship education in upper secondary education is significantly less researched than in higher education. Many entrepreneurship education review studies are conducted at the university level, while relatively few are conducted at the high school level. Existing reviews favored discussing programs’ impacts and outcomes over its designing, developing, and delivering. Adapting well-established processes described in multiple entrepreneurship education reviews, we systematically identified and synthesized thirty-year literature on entrepreneurship education in upper secondary schools using academic database search, expert consulting, and backward snowballing techniques. Results led to the development of the Youth Entrepreneurship Education Planning and Evaluation (or YEEPE) conceptual framework, which offers holistic details to the program planning and evaluating processes at pre-university levels. In addition to informing evidence-based practices, the YEEPE framework is intended to assist education researchers in positioning their research, identifying research opportunities, and elucidating their contributions to both the youth development and entrepreneurship education literature. Further research is encouraged to utilize YEEPE as a starting point for integrating other pertinent research or as a design tool to facilitate the development of entrepreneurship education programs in schools.
