Convenience sampling was used to obtain the sample size of 34(thirty four) teachers from the five selected universities in Uganda.

Data was collected using well designated questionnaire. The thesis also discusses the several factors affecting and limiting entrepreneurship education in Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) system at university level such as lack of facilities like computers for effectives teaching of entrepreneurship education, course being taught theoretically than practically thus not favoring quick understanding since most of the lecturers lack experience on practical business, institutions not sourcing the resourceful person to offer services, unfavorable learning environment for students like strikes within institutions etc. The main findings of the research were; various industries and other sectors are involved in promoting and developing entrepreneurship education through industrial visits and internship to the students, business plans and projects are not being used by students to show there competence in entrepreneurship, institutions do not inspire teachers to teach the subject, teachers are not trained to cope with the changes in technology and Government policy measures influence the entrepreneurship education	en_US
