An education system that would promote entrepreneurship would one that focuses on group projects and encouraging students to take risks with new ideas. At the moment, there is too much pressure and no incentive for students to solely focus on objectives besides grades.

I'm not sure an "education system" could do this. The whole point of having a "system" for education is uniformity: everyone learns the same things. There is some variation, but not much, because no "system" can handle much diversity. But the whole point of entrepreneurship is diversity: everyone tries different things.
Perhaps that's because (a) nobody knows how to educate people to become entrepreneurs, and (b) the kind of people who will make good entrepreneurs are the kind of people who won't be very happy in a one-size-fits-all education system like the one we have.
