The study was a survey and was conducted using 63 business educators in tertiary institutions in Anambra State, Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. A 28 item questionnaire was used. Out of the 63 copies of the questionnaire distributed, fifty three were returned and used for data analysis. Mean scores standard deviation and t-test were used in the analysis of data. The study revealed that all the 28 item statements on business plan and industrial collaboration were considered helpful in the teaching of entrepreneurship. The study recommended among others that tertiary institutions (business education departments) should organize workshops, conferences, seminars to enable business educators acquire knowledge, skills and competencies in teaching entrepreneurship education using appropriate entrepreneurial driven institutional strategies as identified in this paper.
