Follow on Google News | The Role Of Higher Education In Promoting Economic Growth And DevelopmentHigher education is now recognised as a key element in attempts to boost national productivity, competitiveness and economic growth.
By: Hire Education However, there are still many gaps in the development process, especially those linking primary and secondary education as the foundation for educational achievement, output performance and improved national income. For example, in South Africa specifically, the education system fails to produce adequate mathematics and scientific knowledge at the secondary schooling level which has resulted in stagnating innovation and development. Higher education can still play a significant role in helping African countries bridge the technological divide and improve potential for faster growth. Without a solid foundation, however, investment in higher education is doomed to under achieve. Home tuition is often viewed as an adequate supplement to grade 12 tuition in an attempt to boost the matric pass rate. However, this is not a sustainable model for building a solid foundation for higher education. The aim of science and mathematics tutoring is designed to achieve a minimal pass rate which is unacceptable as a platform for further development. Policy debate and development needs to address the declining standards of education in a globalising system which requires increased knowledge and skill to promote faster growth, deeper poverty reduction and lasting improvements in the lives of citizens. While African countries differ significantly in characteristics that influence how education may affect economic growth, the policy environment in most countries remains too fragmented to produce a comprehensive framework to tackle issues in the education system with unified determination. Hence, competing agendas and conflicting policies may have substantial negative effects that can impede the mechanisms designed to produce faster growth, reduce poverty, improve output and uplift the quality of life for the citizens of Africa. # # # Hire Education provides tutors for high school, primary school and university learners across South Africa including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban.
