Entrepreneurship is defined as the dynamic process of creating wealth and exploiting opportunities to produce goods and provide services. Nowadays, entrepreneurship education has become one of the most important and widespread educational policies in both developed and developing countries, and to meet targeted policies, various educational centers and institutions have been established. The main purpose of this study is to examine the four components of the entrepreneurship education curriculum (Objectives, Contents, Teaching Methods, Evaluation Methods) for high school students and the vocational & technical trainees. The approach of this study is qualitative through synthesis of all published and digital studies conducted between 2000 and 2020. Using the meta-synthesis method, we bring experimental data together in both internal and external relevant sources in each curriculum components. To this end, 273 documents were evaluated in the field of entrepreneurial education, and finally, 67 documents were selected and analyzed. The results of the study show that most studies were conducted at the university level contexts and few studies in the student domain.
