Abstract: This paper examine entrepreneurial education from a social capital perspective. Extant literature in both social capital and entrepreneurial education is reviewed. A more philosophical approach is undertaken to determine entrepreneurial meaning and how the knowledge stream will be delivered to encourage cognition and behavioural development among students. We argue that entrepreneurship is the process of creation of a new business or growing existing business through exploration of new opportunities within or outside the existing market space. Physical asset-based business models that were appropriate in the last century may not produce satisfactory results in the 21st century. The role of a knowledge economy dictates fundamentally different aspects of human behaviour and talents. A unique conceptual model is developed in light of current paedagogical and social capital theories and recommendations are made for both educational and institutional bodies. A policy paradigm is suggested as well for making such changes effective.
