Question

Explain the role of education and he in overall development of the country

Answer 1

Economic development is conventionally defined in terms of a rise in real gross national product per capita a distinction can usefully be made between development and growth. Growth may involve neither major changes in factor inputs nor any transformations in existing institutions. As development proceeds, educational institutions, both formal and informal, undergo a corresponding shift in function. The whole literature on education and development is ultimately concerned with this issue: the specific problem of measuring the effect of enhanced educational inputs upon economic outputs must be seen within a broader historical and sociological perspective that attempts to examine the problematic relationship between education and development in the widest sense.
