Abstract: While Innovation Education holds significant potential for driving economic development, its specific impact on Learner Innovative Behavior within Ghanaian higher education remains unexplored due to a lack of research in this area. We conducted a cross-sectional survey to explain the relationship between innovation education and learner innovative behaviour, and the role of entrepreneurial alertness and university support. We used a purposive sampling technique to select a sample of 574 participants. Findings revealed a positive relationship between innovation education and learner innovative behaviour, with entrepreneurial alertness and university support playing critical roles in fostering this relationship. The findings imply that solely relying on innovation education may not sufficiently impact learner innovative behaviour. The study, therefore, recommends integrating entrepreneurial alertness and university support to enhance innovation-oriented learning through innovation-focused curricula. By investing in innovation education and supporting student innovators, universities can contribute to the growth of local economies and address broader societal challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
