This document discusses the importance of education for national development. It notes that education stimulates human capital development, which advanced countries rely on to utilize natural and financial resources. Most governments allocate 5-6% of GDP to education. Developed European countries view education as crucial to raising skills and adapting to changes. The transition to market economies also demands new skills from populations. While transitional countries lag advanced nations in literacy, strategic reforms can upgrade educational systems to better promote social progress. Objectives of education include developing individuals, society, and the economy through lifelong learning that combines formal and informal programs. An effective strategy requires a long-term vision and coordinated short and medium-term actions.ICDE : The International Council for Open and Distance Education
