ABSTRACT

Unlocking the Door to Economic Development:
Education & Technology
 

This research explores the connection between education, technology and economic growth and examines how these elements are inter-related.  By examining educational patterns in cultures such as Israel and the post bellum South, a connection can be made to determine what types of educational practices have been most successful in securing economic development.   The purpose of this research is to construct an essay that will effectively establish a link that will connect the effects of improving the educational system to the ability of a nation to acquire and maintain new technology to secure an environment that will foster strong economic development.
