The purpose of the present study was to identify and validate the dimensions and components of innovation and entrepreneurial management in upper secondary schools. Methodologically, this research is quantitative in nature and employed a survey method to validate the proposed model. The statistical population included principals of upper secondary schools in the city of Rafsanjan. Based on Cochran’s formula and stratified random sampling, a sample size of 384 participants was determined. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire, the data validity of which was confirmed using the alignment method. Data analysis was conducted using the Friedman test through SPSS software. The findings indicated that the identified dimensions and components were highly reliable; therefore, the validity of the components derived in this study was confirmed. Additionally, the results showed that the 30 identified components did not have equal rankings and varied in terms of importance. This highlights the differing relative significance of each component within the structure of the innovation and entrepreneurship model for upper secondary schools.
