AWARENESS, ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
|
Education is widely valued not only for its intrinsic value
in enriching the lives of individuals but also for its functional value in the
development of the human capital of a nation. Educational investments in
children have been shown to have high private and social returns. The private
returns are associated with increased productivity and earnings in adulthood,
and with further non-pecuniary gains arising from the greater efficiency with
which educated individuals are able to acquire and process information
(Rosenzweig,1995). The social premium to education over and above the private
value includes further productivity increases arising from knowledge spill
over, gains in health for one generation that flow from gains in education for
the previous, and the improved functioning of civic society and democracy.
Thus, widespread education not only helps growth through productivity effects,
but is also crucial to distribution of the gains from growth.
