Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the topic of developing entrepreneurial competences in younger school age students. The term entrepreneurship is explained in the context of basic documents regulating the issue of developing key competences at the first stage of education, as well as examples of good practices and strategies to develop an entrepreneurial attitude. The aim of the research was to obtain information on how third-grade students define the concepts of entrepreneurship and entrepreneur, do they consider themselves entrepreneurial, and do they see in the initiatives organised at school initiatives to stimulate this important competence for effective education. The research used diagnostic survey method and survey technique. The obtained results are not used to formulate generalisations or to put forward theses, but to signal that the surveyed students present a colloquial understanding of the terms: entrepreneurship, entrepreneur, which deviate from their academic definitions. The surveyed respondents do not have sufficient knowledge about the characteristics of an entrepreneurial person, and the actions taken at school to develop the entrepreneurial attitude are insufficiently implemented.
