Abstract
This article examines the strategy to foster Islamic entrepreneurship spirit in school environment through professional management of school cooperatives. In the context of modern education, educational institutions are not only required to produce graduates who excel academically but also have economic independence and entrepreneurial spirit. School cooperatives can be an effective laboratory for Islamic entrepreneurship education, facilitating students to practice the principles of Islamic economics directly. Through a qualitative approach based on literature review and best practice studies, this article explores the concept of entrepreneurship in Islam, the urgency of Islamic entrepreneurship education in schools, strategies for managing school cooperatives based on Islamic values, and their impact on the formation of Islamic entrepreneurial character in students. The results of the study show that professional management of school cooperatives by implementing Islamic values such as honesty (shiddiq), trustworthiness, communication (tabligh), and professionalism (fathanah) contributes significantly to improving Islamic economic literacy, developing Islamic entrepreneurial character, improving practical business skills, and inspiring students to start their own businesses. This article recommends the need for support from all school stakeholders in optimizing the function of school cooperatives as an effective means of Islamic entrepreneurship education.
