Education is the single most important factor in the development of a developing country. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Today, experts are exploring ways of developing marginalized nations. They enumerate certain factors, which play prominent role in advancement. In their list of priorities, education appears on the top. However, others feel this factor alone can take a society forward.
Educating masses can help in churning out acumen and expertise in disparate trades, in turn, aiding in enhancing job preparedness. Undeniably, literate inhabitants stand a better chance of gaining well-compensated employment, in sectors critical to economic progress. Beyond this, those with enterprising attitudes often venture into establishing businesses, thereby not only generating employment but also generous amounts of financial resources. To corroborate, as literacy rates climbed in China, more and more individuals like Jack Ma, forayed into initiating their own businesses like Alibaba.com, that produced more openings for skilled expertise.
On the contrary, some feel that education alone cannot guarantee affluence, and countries require other crucial ingredients: stable government policies and preparedness of locals in pursuing and adapting to culture bolstering development. For instance, India, even after having a fair level of literacy is struggling to develop itself, because the successive regimes have failed to afford stable policies, and citizens are still ill-prepared to abandon their conservative thinking.
In conclusion, I feel even though education is an essential parameter for progress, it is cannot single-handedly lead to triumph on all fronts: other aspects such as governance and wealth, have an equal weightage.
