Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present the results of a desk and field explorative analysis aimed to provide insights and models for realizing entrepreneurial skills curriculum in all cycles of a pre-university education system, and also in higher education schools in a developing country context, such as Albania. In doing this, the authors focus on comparing a US model of content entrepreneurship with entrepreneurial competence in the official curriculum of Albanian Education. In this sense, this paper is a support to the development of entrepreneurship competence and tourism development, as an integrated way in the implemented curriculum, especially for the pupils of pre-university education in Albania.
