should countries concentrate on improving industrial skills or should they promote education first?

The two should go hand-in-hand.  It doesn't do any good to teach industrial skills if the other basic knowledge isn't there, but it doesn't do any good to just teach the three R's (and the other multicultural crap they're teaching these days) if you can't get a job when you're done.

Actually I think you're right. If you compete in such days like these where money is so valuable this will increase industrialization. More people will make stuff to get more money than any other person. They will try to invent new stuff and even try to create more of one huge invention. If you know what i mean. But basically that is the strategy to accelerate industrialization.

yes. but it will take great resistance to get-rich-quick schemes orchestrated by american corporations. instead, because there is a great push to bring ICT (information and communication technology) to "third world" countries, and the Philippines is one of the places poised to benefit, that's where the effort should be pushed. not only can ICT bring people a free education, it can allow people in the countryside to have access to information they might not otherwise have, enabling them to bypass people who would cheat them. it enables them to bypass, in fact, all kinds of people who would censor their knowledge, and otherwise do them ill. it can be a great tool for getting out from under oppression. \n\n(see this link: http://owli.org/search/node/philippines?PHPSESSID=c9a8f079b33e9cad428fb1ef8bad7e89.)

To develop we need to streamline so we need Business Process Re Engineering. Of course your land has to free and ready for it all. If it's a country where war rages then you would social process re engeering, if that exists. I think in a country like India - go for it

In my opinion, the intro should be about education in the world. What education includes and what degrees of education exists.\nAnd then you may compare with the education in India...

Personally i think the best way to close the poverty gap is for companies to invest industries in 3rd world countries. But the problem is that tax is unbelievable high in those countries thus companies don't have an incentive to invest there. Also the countries should start to become self sufficient so they rely less on hand out. Any aid give to 3rd world countries should be given organisation that work directly in the country not the goverment.

First i would like to say that education sould not have differential goals.Why education should solely lead towards a good man not a big man.If this purpose is not based to the education, the institutional objectives should be set by teacher from time to time.

The government shouldn't do anything. It's up to the individual to improve his or her skills. Gain an education and make ones self marketable.

Switzerland.\n\nIndia is perhaps the most educated in IT.\n\nAnd...America...well, we're a bit behind.

Unhappily, most "developing nations" are corrupt.  Billions have been spent on them, only to have the bucks stolen and/or misdirected and/or misspent.  Further, a bunch of them have an environment rife with disease and degradation.  It is a very formidable enterprise to "help develop" such places.\n\nSo I would say that what would be most effective is to promote self development strategies, which would mean self-cleansing of corruption, to start.  Once that has been well enough tackled, then these nations should prioritize their development with the view that the people need to work, and to work, they need decent food, clothing, health care, and education.

Yes. Everyone should follow through to get a good education. If not, you will not get a higher- or decent- paying job and will have more trouble supporting your family (not that you will be poor). Also, since prices are rapidly raising, always be prepared. And education will give you that.

Just read some of these questions and answers! jk  If you want to live a decent life or have a family you need a good education to survive.  The smarter we all are as a whole makes us a better society and a stronger country to survive in a violent world.  Research and development in all fields allow us to advance and survive.  Would you want to live in some of these third world countries or raise your children in such a place?  If you say, yes, then you haven't visited enough of them.  Without education we are doomed to be like many of these poorer countries throughout Asia, which includes the Middle East.  A society of ignorant violent people who can not govern themselves.  There are many intelligent and good people in these areas, as well as some succesful countries, but they are unfortunately the minority.  If this answer did not work, go hang out in some getto or trailer park.

Education is very important in helping to create a healthy society.

Honestly, IMHO, education in India is more oriented towards getting good marks. Students are expected to cram/by-heart the answers. The emphasis is not on learning but on grades. So, you decide what is best for you.

good, excellent thinking. i can see that u are willing to educate ppl other than in the big, modern countries. God bless u richly. well, for the most part u need money: to build, to pay teachers, etc.

I don't think this is a very good thesis. The UK was the first country to go from non-industrial to industrial, but the conditions then were very different from what they are now. An LEDC faces completely different conditions than the problems that Britain had to face back then.\n\nBut some things that were the same would be: poor transportation (in the early 1800s, not in 1900), uneducated workforce (although Britain had a fairly high literacy rate by 1900), poor power infrastructure, poor health care system, lack of reliable and stable democratic government (in early 1800s, not 1900)\n\nA widely recognized expert on this topic is E. J Hobshawm who wrote a book "Industry and Empire" specifically about this. If you need to do a term paper, that would be a good source.

I think industrialization is what happens when a country becomes more modern, a side affect of progress etc.
