Education: Analysis
Education is a key element of sustainable progress of countries. There are two crucial aspects, the quality of education (compliance with the global standards) and its accessibility to the general public. An educated and highly skilled population is the firm foundation for ensuring national competitiveness in the modern world. The creation and use of new knowledge is becoming the main source of growth of the national economies and the quality of life. This explains the focus on education in light of the forthcoming G8 summit.
