This study was carried out using three research questions and two hypotheses. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprises all the public primary school teachers in Pankshin educational district with a total number of three hundred and five (305) teachers. The sample size consisted of 20% of all the teachers with a total number of 61 teachers, which was selected using stratified random sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was 30-item questionnaire titled "Questionnaire on Repositioning Cultural and Creative Arts Edupreneurial Skills" (RCCAES). The instrument was subjected to face validation by three experts. A reliability coefficient of 0.81 and 0.87 which were considered high were obtained using Pearson products moments correlation coefficient method. The instrument was structured on a 4-point likert scale weighted 2.50 criterion mean. The data was analyzed using means scores. The findings of this study revealed that teachers perceived cultural and creative arts develop pupils' edupreneurial skills and that it has been incorporated in the curriculum of cultural and creative arts. Teachers also do encounter some challenges in the incorporation of edupreneurial skills in teaching cultural and creative arts due to globalization of technology. Conclusively, the paper recommended among others that for the Nigerian educational system to meet global best practices, the government should provide the enabling environment for edupreneurial skills to thrive. This can be done by ensuring that the curriculum is not just a knowledge-driven one but rather a tool to actualization of economic growth and competing with other countries in the world through adequate provision of funds for the practical implementation of skills.
