...Education Is The Only Most Significant Aspect Of Economic Development For a country to grow economically there requires being engagement of human capital and skills. However, skill are created and enhanced through formal schooling. It is believed that economy interacts positively with education an aspect that leads to prosperity of a country’s economy. Since the advancement of technology, education becomes increasingly valuable as well as its utilization in various aspects on the job. By enabling employees to continue their education, they are more likely to improve their work rate and in doing so increase economic growth. In this view, the country needs to train and educate workers to enhance their performances in these industries. While it is believed that other factors such as economic policies, institutional quality, government, resources endowments, national resources, and cultures foster economic development, education is only significant factor that supports economic development. The modern economy is characterized by technology oriented goods and services. These qualities in the market require enhanced level of education to achieve the economic goals set by the country and the society. In order to use the products that serve the contemporary world, consumers are required to adopt the necessary information and knowledge about the commodities. Acquiring the important information on the product use is the act of education. Thus, through education, the quality...

...Population Education The relationship between education and population has attracted the attention of both scholars and policymakers, especially since the mid-1970s. The rate of population growth and the number of people living on earth have both increased spectacularly since the beginning of the nineteenth century. During the twentieth century, the human population increased at an average annual rate that was about fifty times as fast as the rate over the previous 10,000 years. Between 1800 and 2000, the number of people alive increased nearly seven-fold. Following World War II, the rate of population growth exploded - during the 1970s it was about four times as great as it had been a century earlier. By 2000, the living population exceeded the entire population born between the beginning of settled agriculture and the year 1900 - a period of 10,000 years. The implications of this explosive growth for both the physical environment and human wellbeing alarmed many observers and prompted an intense public policy debate. Many scholars and policymakers noted that high levels of educational achievement were associated with more moderate rates of population growth, suggesting that important opportunities for alleviating population pressures might be found in ensuring greater access to education, particularly for females. The ensuing public policy debate has prompted an examination of how education affects the birth rate. The explosive growth of the human population in the nineteenth...

...Bodrick May 12, 2011 The Importance of Education in Today’s World “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”. How you ever seen education as being important in today’s society? In my eyes, I see education as being very important in today’s society because education open your vision on how many people see life. Education is not just for young people, it is for people that are willing to learn and be taught. I am a 45 year old mother that has three daughters. I never had the opportunity to finish my college education because I had to be a mother first. I always told myself that when I was able and focus again that I will go back to school to purse my education further. Education means many things to me such as self-growth, family growth, and financial growth. However, when attending school at 45 year of age, I’m growing as a person. I see that I’m much more open to new and different things and that I am making much better grades now, than when I was in college the first time. When attending an online school I have to be dedicated and focus. Education to me is not just self-growth but also family growth. When I see my daughters attending school and doing something positive with their lives not only make me proud of them, but also gives me the drive and ambitious that I need to make it through. My daughters are what keep me on the right track. When I feel like giving up, I turn and look at them and see the same things that I am going through is what they have to face every day. I...

...China’s Economic Growth 1978-2025: What We Know Today about China’s Economic Growth Tomorrow Views of the future China vary widely. While some believe that the collapse of China is inevitable, others see the emergence of a new superpower that increasingly poses a threat to the U.S. This paper examines the economic growth prospects of China over the next two decades. Extrapolating past real GDP growth rates into the future, the size of the Chinese economy surpasses that of the U.S. in purchasing power terms between 2012 and 2015; by 2025, China is likely to be the world's largest economic power by almost any measure. The extrapolations are supported by two types of considerations. First, China’s growth patterns of the past 25 years since the beginning of economic reforms match well those identified by standard economic development and trade theories (structural change, catching up, and factor price equalization). Second, decomposing China’s GDP growth into growth of labor and other variables, the near-certain information available today about the quantity and quality of Chinese laborers through 2015, if not several years after, allows inferences about future GDP growth. Short of some cataclysmic event, demographics alone suggests China’s continued economic rise. If talent is randomly distributed in the world population and if agglomeration of talent is important, then the odds are strongly in China’s favor. Introduction The rapid economic growth of China since the...

...Executive Summary Reforming Education: Firing and Motivating Teachers The public educational system in Texas is failing. The current practice of retaining underperforming teachers is preventing students from receiving the quality of education that is necessary to succeed. To correct this problem, we propose a system for evaluating teacher performance at the elementary school level based on state test scores. Teachers will be placed into one of four categories based on their students’ educational growth: top performing tier, high performing tier, medium performing tier, or lowest performing tier. Teachers performing in the top tiers will be rewarded with public praise and annual bonuses, while teachers in the bottom tiers will be placed on probation which includes performance improvement courses. Teachers who are unable to improve their performance will be fired. The tactics to sell this plan to the Spring Branch Independent School District board will be based on consistency, intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, emotion, and the Expectancy Chain. Convincing the school board to fire underperforming teachers will challenge the educational status quo, but will improve the quality of education given to students. Reforming Education: Firing and Motivating Teachers Public education is failing in Texas. Texas ranks forty-first out of fifty states in high school graduation rates. “The research shows that kids who have two, three, or four strong teachers in a row will eventually...

...MANAGEMENT ASSIGNMENT TWO SUBMTTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF THE MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEGREE IN THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS 1.0 Executive Summary ANU is a Private Christian University and an Institution of the Church of the Nazarene International, whose mission and vision follows the Wesleyan Holiness Tradition. The university was born in November 23 1993, when the Commission of University Education (CUE) issued, on behalf of the Kenyan Government, a Letter of Interim Authority for the University to start laying the foundation to the development of ANU. ANU made history when it became the first University to seek a charter under the new Act and without an affiliation to an existing University. At the time of commencing operations, private universities in Kenya were few, with most students preferring public universities. However as the years went by, the growing demand for affordable and accessible higher education was higher than the existing supply. This shortfall provided ANU with an extraordinary opportunity for market growth. With a main campus situated in the middle of the great Masaai savannah, the physical foundation of the University was laid on a vast 124 acres – the beginning of the actualization of a dream to establish an expansive Christian University for students in Africa. ANU offers a beautiful campus located next to Nairobi National Park, off Magadi Road near Ongata Rongai Town, just 24km from Nairobi City Center offering a...

...Educated Introduction Economists have customarily considered education as an investment in human capital, which has a direct impact on both the educated individuals and the society at large. Generally speaking, people with better education have an upper hand in politics, social life and economics than those with basic schooling. However, it would be biased to assume that all the observable differences among people are brought by education. Many factors contribute to the difference in economic status and this includes family backgrounds and innate ability. In actual sense, these factors interact with the formal education environment and jointly help to develop preferences that determine people’s economic behavior. Even so, still there is evidence pointing out that, other factors neutral, better educated individuals normally have better jobs and higher income than those with average education. Further, they enjoy other benefits attributed to their schooling experience. Furthermore, it is factual that communities and countries with higher literacy levels have better living conditions than those with a less educated population. Therefore, this paper discusses the benefits of education as an attempt to substantiate the fact most of the observable difference in welfare are as a result of differences in education levels. To this end, the paper will have explored the reasons behind the need to be educated. The Impact of Education From an economic point of view, the time and money invested...

...INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………1 EDUCATION, DISCIPLESHIP, AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION…………………..1 CHURCH MINISTRY PRIORITY……………………………………………………..4 WORSHIP CONNECTION…………………………………………………………….5 CONCLUSION…………………………………………………………………………6 BIBLIOGRAPHY………………………………………………………………………7 Introduction As a youth leader working with different age groups, the question of what constitutes the essential activity of Christian ministry is a critic alone. The drive can be to simply educate about the Bible in a Christian setting, to drive spiritual foundation or to nurture discipleship of Jesus Christ. What is really important is to establish what really separates these theories or whether there is significant similarity. While many answers about education have been developed and published by nonspiritual authors, finding answers in the Christian setting require a rather different considerations as the spiritual aspect is a part. God is difficult to comprehend in scientific evaluation, however we can evaluate answers to the quest for an answer based on what Scripture teaches. In Chapter 1 of our text Mitchell states “Jesus expected his disciples to follow him, experience life change, and participate in something remarkable” (p 3). So in order to evaluate the statement “The essential activity of Christian ministry” we much follow his directions and lead as Jesus did. Education, Discipleship and Spiritual Formation Three terms need definition for the further discussion: education, discipleship and spiritual...

...“The influence of Academic education on crime rate within South Asia” Abstract This paper illustrates effects of academic education on the crime ratio prevailing in the country. We present realistic influences between crime and education in South Asian countries and specifically in Pakistan, using various data sources. A solid conclusion is that criminal activity is negatively related with higher levels of education in Pakistan. Therefore, we categorize the outcome of education on influence in criminal activity using fluctuations in required school leaving age laws over time to understanding for the endogeneity of education. In this fundamental approach, for property crimes, the negative crime-education relationship remains strong and significant. The consequences of these findings are explicit and perfect. They indicate that refining education can yield major...
