ABSTRACT

Throughout this book, fundamental action areas for countries wishing to accelerate economic growth and human development have been examined. This has included the critical need for greater attention to education and human capital accumulation. Universal primary education and progress toward universal secondary education are important benchmarks for future advances in growth and development. Tertiary education must be geared to turning out a larger number of research scientists and technicians so that the needed focus on technology is facilitated. The creation of an efficient and honest civil service is another goal of education and training policies.
