Qualitative Education and Development

Qualitative Education and Development makes a very strong case for qualitative education as the dominant too for early childhood development, a well ordered society, quality living standard, women empowerment, effective healthcare, population control, industrial breakthrough and all other indices which make for individual and societal growth and development. Tracing the evolution and gradual development of education from ancient times through the classical and discovery time to modern times, the author takes a critical but in-depth look at the educational development of the United States of America, Japan, Switzerland, Canada, Israel, Republic of Korea and five other countries vis-a-vis the vantage positions they occupy in world's socio-politico-economic order and argues that any country-developed, developing or under-developed which ignores qualitative education at any point of its historical development does so at its own risk. Africa and the developing world, he contends, should rise up to the bait of qualitative education now or be left far behind in the impending twenty-first century advancement and globalization. This compelling book is recommended to all literate people worldwide, particularly educational planners and officials, ministry officials, industrialists, teachers at all levels and students.
