Abstract: This paper examines how entrepreneurship education affects the sustainability of enterprises in the developing nations based on panel data. Entrepreneurship education is a central aspect in promotion of sustainable development as it increases entrepreneurial skills leading to economic, environmental, and social sustainability. The research method is a quantitative research design that involves analyzing panel data to determine the relationship between entrepreneurship education and enterprise sustainability outcome, which considers GDP per capita, physical capital investment, openness to trade, and economic volatility. The study covers 100 developing nations in Asia, Latin America, and Africa with five-year averages to measure the long-term impacts. The findings show that the sustainability performance in terms of economic, environmental, and social aspects is a stable process over time, and entrepreneurship education is not a stationary process, which implies that data should be transformed to ensure a direct correlation with sustainability performance. The research shows moderate levels of education in value analysis with an average of 5.35 years of entrepreneurship education with considerable variation amongst the countries. The average of the economic sustainability index is 0.35 which is fairly low level of sustainability, whereas the average of the environmental and social sustainability indices is a little bit higher 0.40 and 0.30 respectively. Control variables, including GDP per capita and investment in physical capital, are highly variable, which shows their moderating effect to determine the sustainability outcome. The research paper emphasizes the importance of education quality management and governance structures in boosting sustainability. It insinuates that entrepreneurship education, combined with bettering of policies can play a significant role in ensuring long-term sustainability in businesses, especially in developing economies. The results give policy implications on how to improve entrepreneurship education systems and foster sustainable economic development in the world.
