  • Essay / The mutualistic relationship between education and...

    Education and development are two closely linked concepts; it seems that education begets development and vice versa. They have a mutualistic relationship, and this manifests itself in multiple ways. To fully understand the relationship between development and education, it is necessary to understand the drivers of education. People, culture, politics and more contribute to what is taught in schools and the intentions of the education system in terms of what is best for the community. There are certain challenges that education systems face in terms of culture, gender discrimination, poor resources, etc., which also indicate the relationship between education and development. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, there are outcomes of education, one of which is development, but which also encompasses social, economic and political growth, all of which contribute to the development of a Company. Most people have a fairly concrete understanding of what education is, but development is more of an enigma, so it is useful to understand what are called the "six different dimensions of the educational context in developing countries." development” (Harber and Davies, 2005). They list them as follows: “the demographic context, the economic context, the resource context, the violence context, the health context and the cultural context”. It is important to understand what development is in order to relate it to education. The drivers of education are essential to the concept of education as we know it. The drivers of education are the stakeholders; they are the ones who determine what is taught and why. They care about access; a critical aspect of development in terms of education, and they care about quality and content as well as benefits...... middle of document ......education outcomes are perhaps the most obvious benefits of education in terms of development; educated people will be more efficient, they will find work, which means an increase in GDP. Education leads to less poverty and disease, which also creates a more economically healthy society. Education and development benefit each other; when one prospers, so does the other. What is important is to get all countries to a point of development where they can help themselves. Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world,” and it’s true. But to change and advance the world we live in, all human beings must receive an education.ReferencesHarber, Clive and Lynn Davies.
