This is an edit from my Quora answer to Etienne Depaulis's question: "What changes could help the engineering schools of France produce more entrepreneurs?".

1. Change the rewarding system to celebrate failure. Not only failure is key to accelerate the learning curve but it's usually the first fear that stop students from becoming an entrepreneur. At school, failing is not perceived as an accelerator and slows down entrepreneurship.

2. Experiment to change the world instead of virtual project. I spent hours of courses trying to build stuff that have already been done. Not fun. Today technology can connect any problem to anyone who is willing to solve it. If teachers were pushing students to "try to change the world" during their courses, students would understand how motivational and amazing it is to be an entrepreneur.

3. Create a culture of "we". At school, we don't live or even learn how to build a great culture. Ranking students individually create selfish personalities. Schools keep promoting how much you can make with their diploma while the most important is how much your team or maybe your users can benefit from your work. Entrepreneurs have been raised to be altruistic.

4. Rethink the Business Model. Technology are moving about 10x faster than 10 years ago and it's not likely to slow down. We can no longer let people who haven't be facing to the "real world" for the past 5 years. School administration could offer projects and/or money to researchers, engineers and entrepreneurs to tell their story about "How they fail or succeed?". Knowledge has become real-time as well so teachers should go part-time and executives should go back to school.

But first of all, changes come from people. Students need to stand up and say loudly how bored they are at schools. Lots of them would become entrepreneurs if the system was celebrating innovation.

Our children will need a way better education system to face the very challenging world we're heading to. We need to start to change it now.

The best way to predict the future is to create it. Peter F. Drucker
