Is development possible without education & ICT?

Tweet

We often talk about global development. People believed that poor countries or third world countries will develop faster, thus the economic gap between the rich developed countries and the third world countries will diminished. However, facts show the contrary. It is true that the gross national product of countries will increase, but the gap between the income of the rich and poor countries is also getting wider. The main reason for this gap is the extra-ordinary growth of information as a result of the development of education, communications and information technologies in western developed countries which have full control of these technologies.
