        This study compares entrepreneurship education at high schools of EU countries and Iran. The approach was qualitative and the methodology followed was deductive qualitative content analysis. The statistical population included research projects related to entrepreneurship education. A total of 120 sources were collected using desired keywords and 14 of them were selected as the final sample via purposive sampling. According to the results, the main difference between selected countries is in teaching-learning and evaluation methods. While European countries focus on active learner-oriented methods, in Iran, theoretical methods of teaching and assessing are applied. The similarity between Iran and EU countries lies in the emphasis on practical training of skills and the development of entrepreneurial thinking. Considering the relative success of EU countries in entrepreneurship education, it is suggested that more value should be given to the practical aspect of teaching and evaluation methods of entrepreneurship education in Iran.
