  This chapter presents an overview of this book. The chapter explains the background of entrepreneurship education and relevant pedagogical concepts. Entrepreneurship education instead of seen as one of the way to job creation, it also could help to develop knowledge and skills which is benefit as a preparation for life, not just a career path. The aim of this book is to explore how entrepreneurship education is embedded throughout a lifecycle of learners. So far, the entrepreneurship education tends to start in higher education level and as an ad hoc basis. This means some institutions offer as an elective or compulsory course, others offer as a degree program. The entrepreneurship education has not yet been widely adopted as a core curriculum in most countries. Further, the formal entrepreneurship education rarely offers beyond the young learners. This book offers critical views of whom entrepreneurship education can be delivered to, including childhood/school children, higher educations, and senior/older people.
