How Education is instrumental in attainment
of economic development???
A survey of about 200 countries (UNDP) in 2005
showed that development of any country depends :
20 percent on its Natural resources,
16 percent on its Infrastructure
64 percent on its Human
Resources and Social Factors
4. Education 2020
• Social development of any country presupposes
that education should provide trained, qualified
manpower in all the sector.
• Education thus is the basic ingredient for having
healthy and skilled manpower for industrial
development
• Hence our vision of India-2020 has to be on the
belief that human resources are the most
important determinant of overall development.

Conclusion…
" I anticipate mega change in the way children learn. When we look
around us we see not only an absence of mega change, we see a
number of ways in which policy seems to be designed to prevent
the mega change....the model that says learn while you're at
school, while you're young, the skills that you will apply during your
lifetime is no longer tenable. The skills that you can learn when
you're at school will not be applicable. They will be obsolete by the
time you get into the workplace and need them, except for one
skill. The one really competitive skill is the skill of being able to
learn. It is the skill of being able not to give the right answer to
questions about what you were taught in school, but to make the
right response to situations that are outside the scope of what you
were taught in school. We need to produce people who know how
to act when they're faced with situations for which they were not
specifically prepared."
