▶ Your Answer :
Some people might think that schools do not
have much effect on a country’s development. However, in my opinion, improving education
is most important to make progress for a country. This is because a country
with high level of educated people is likely to achieve economic development.
Education can promote economic growth by fostering
labor pool which have capacity to fulfil jobs with high value. These days, jobs
that create high value and wealth require high level of education. Therefore,
investing in education and fostering experts can bring about wealth to the
country. For instance, South Korea used to be a very poor country back in the
1950s after the Korean war. Most people were engaged in agricultural sector
back then. However, Korean people had strong desire and willingness to learn
and overcome poverty. The Korean government also invested a lot of money in
building schools and providing appropriate education and training to the
people. As a result, the rate of education increased rapidly from the 1980s,
and almost 80% of Koreans go to university nowadays. With the support of these
educated people, Korea could promote economic development by developing its national
strength and comparative advantage in such areas as IT technologies and
products, and semi-conduct products. Now, Korea has the 13th biggest economic
size (GDP) in the world.
To sum up, good educational infrastructure
and system is precondition to economic development because it fosters necessary
labor pool with capabilities for the country’s economic development. Therefore,
I strongly believe that investing in education sector is a good way for a
country to progress. |
