INTRODUCTION
Entrepreneurship plays a vital role in addressing socioeconomic challenges and promoting national development.
As highlighted by Serian Wijatno in Ayu .
, entrepreneurship not only reduces unemployment by providing selfemployment opportunities but also generates jobs for others, contributing to economic stability and growth.
Advanced economies such as the United States.
Japan, and Singapore have demonstrated how fostering entrepreneurship can lead to poverty reduction and improved living standards.
However.
Indonesia still lags behind with an entrepreneurial ratio of 3.
1%, compared to Malaysia at 5%.
Singapore at 7%, and the United States at 12% (Bisnis.
com, 2.
This gap underscores the need for strategic interventions to cultivate entrepreneurial skills, particularly among the youth.
Education emerges as a crucial avenue for nurturing entrepreneurial mindsets and competencies, especially within the framework of elementary education.
Initiatives like the Project Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P.
offer an opportunity to integrate entrepreneurial skills with the broader framework of Pancasila values, aiming to prepare students for future challenges by fostering creativity, resilience, and economic independence (Wahyuni & Muhammadi, 2.
Recent studies have emphasized the critical role of contextual education in cultivating essential skills.
Research by Luh Aryani.
Marhaeni, and Suastra .
demonstrated that incorporating local environmental elements into the curriculum significantly improved studentsAo scientific process skills and academic performance.
Similarly.
Harahap .
underscored the importance of aligning education with cultural and community contexts, suggesting that localized education fosters adaptability and resilience among learners.
Another study by Hayaturraiyan & Harahap .
highlighted that integrating local wisdom into educational practices not only enhances cognitive and practical skills but also deepens studentsAo connection to their surroundings.
Further.
Harahap .
investigated the role of the social environment in shaping learning behaviors, finding that cultural and community dimensions significantly influence students' creativity, discipline, and problem-solving While these studies underline the benefits of localized learning, they primarily focus on general character development and cognitive skills, with limited exploration of entrepreneurship education.
Moreover, the potential of P5 projects in fostering entrepreneurial competencies remains under-researched, leaving questions about the efficacy of such approaches unanswered.
Despite the promising potential of localized educational models, significant gaps exist in their application to entrepreneurship education.
While studies like those by Luh Aryani et al .
and Harahap .
highlight the benefits of contextual learning, they do not empirically examine the relationship between localized education and entrepreneurial skills.
Furthermore, the P5 initiative under the Kurikulum Merdeka remains underexplored in terms of its capacity to foster entrepreneurship, especially among younger students in elementary This creates a gap in understanding how early exposure to entrepreneurship education through localized projects can shape studentsAo abilities to identify opportunities, innovate, and manage resources effectively.

Additionally, there is a lack of evidence on how schools can systematically integrate local wisdom into P5 projects to teach entrepreneurial competencies, particularly in diverse cultural contexts.
The primary objective of this research is to investigate the influence of P5 projects based on local wisdom on entrepreneurial skills among fourth-grade students at UPT SPF SDN Mangkura IV.
Specifically, the study aims to assess the current state of entrepreneurial skills among students, evaluate the design and implementation of P5 projects within the school, and analyze the extent to which these projects enhance studentsAo abilities to identify entrepreneurial opportunities, innovate, and manage small-scale business activities.
This research contributes to the academic discourse on education and entrepreneurship by addressing a critical gap in early entrepreneurship By focusing on elementary students, the study provides insights into how foundational skills can be nurtured to prepare students for future economic Additionally, this research highlights the potential of P5 initiatives to integrate local wisdom with entrepreneurship education, offering a model for contextualized learning that aligns with IndonesiaAos cultural and economic The findings are expected to inform educators, policymakers, and community leaders on optimizing P5 implementation, demonstrating how localized education can effectively foster entrepreneurial mindsets and contribute to national economic resilience.

685, this result shows a strong relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable.
Local wisdom-based P5 contributes to improving students' creativity, innovation, and managerial ability, all of which are key elements of entrepreneurial skills.
The study also identified several aspects that need to be improved, including students' creative skills which are currently still in the AuFairAy category based on observation and evaluation results.
This research makes a significant contribution in the field of education, especially in the context of local wisdom-based curriculum development.
integrating local values into the P5 program, this research highlights the importance of a contextual approach in education that not only supports academic achievement but also prepares students to face real-world challenges.
The uniqueness of this study lies in the combination of a quantitative approach with a focus on the influence of local wisdom on students' practical skills, making it relevant to be implemented in the context of Merdeka Curriculum that encourages project-based learning.
Furthermore, this research also confirms that a local wisdom-based approach is able to increase students' sense of ownership of their local culture while providing skills that are relevant to the demands of the times.
However, this research has several limitations.
One of them is that the scope is limited to one school with a small sample size of 39 students.
This may limit the generalizability of the findings to a wider population.
In addition, this study emphasized more on the entrepreneurial skills aspect without exploring other factors that might influence the effectiveness of local wisdom-based P5, such as the role of teachers, infrastructure, and parental involvement.
This study also used a quantitative approach that could be balanced with a qualitative approach to gain a deeper understanding of students' and teachers' experiences in the P5 For future research, it is recommended to expand the scope of the study to more schools with different cultural backgrounds, so that the results can be more nationally representative.
Further research could also explore the effect of the local wisdom-based P5 program on other aspects, such as critical thinking.

leadership, and collaboration skills.
In addition, the integration of qualitative methods, such as in-depth interviews or case studies, could provide richer insights into the dynamics and challenges of P5 implementation in various Thus, new findings can support the development of more effective policies to improve the quality of education in Indonesia.
ADVANCED RESEARCH
Every research endeavor is inevitably accompanied by certain limitations, and this study is no exception.
While this research successfully demonstrates the impact of the Project Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P.
based on local wisdom on entrepreneurial skills among fourth-grade students at UPT SPF SDN Mangkura IV, several areas remain open for deeper exploration.
The study's focus on a single school limits the generalizability of findings across diverse cultural and educational contexts.
Additionally, while a quantitative approach has effectively measured the statistical significance of the P5 programAos impact, qualitative insights into students' lived experiences, teacher facilitation styles, and parental engagement remain unexplored.
Future research can address these gaps by adopting a mixed-methods approach to provide a more holistic understanding of the dynamics between P5 programs and their outcomes.
Expanding the scope to include schools from different regions, each with unique cultural attributes, could uncover how local wisdom shapes entrepreneurial skills in diverse settings.
Furthermore, investigating the role of other stakeholdersAiteachers, parents, and community leadersAiin enhancing the effectiveness of P5 programs could yield valuable insights for policy and practice.
An additional avenue for future research could involve longitudinal studies that assess the long-term impact of P5 programs on students' entrepreneurial competencies and career trajectories.
Tracking students over time would reveal whether the skills acquired during the program translate into tangible benefits, such as increased entrepreneurial activity or improved problem-solving abilities in adulthood.
Exploring the integration of technology and digital tools into P5based projects could also be a fruitful area of investigation, as it aligns with the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the evolving nature of Ultimately, advancing this research requires collaborative efforts among educators, policymakers, and researchers to design, implement, and evaluate innovative educational interventions.
By addressing the existing limitations and building on the findings of this study, future research can contribute to a deeper understanding of how culturally rooted education fosters not only entrepreneurial skills but also the holistic development of students in a rapidly changing global landscape.
