Education
We have been educated over the passed fifty (50) years that an Education is important to our future success!
It is a fair statement when taken in context, if your a farmer, you study Ag!
Somewhere along the way we, the Americans, and all of you foreigners, have lost touch with that which is important, the cost of the Education and where in the xxxx you are going to get a job to repay all the money you spent getting it.
Now, if you are in the Military and have tuition assistance that will cover the complete cost, plus books etc, then it no problem....
The point that I wish to hopely bring you to is that foreign countries, shall we say Pakistan, for example, may need to educate ot offer an Education to their young people, but with certain restrictions:
1. That you create the Schools in Pakistan, or that you force the International Schools to Set up and operate schools in Pakistan.
2. You, Pakistan, need to come to sme realtime understanding of what your education needs are and suppor those subject
in order to meet your needs.
3. and, in order to maintain a real democatic state, allow and support Colleges & Universities for the Muslim, in Religion, and in other subjects. (If you cannot understand why I would suggest this, go to NW China or to Russia, where Muslims produce some of the brights candidates)
Where are the People going to work - to be employed? Start inventorying all of your imports, by Dollar value to make this decision. The make arrangement to give the company's a time period, 18, 24, 36 months to set up shop in Pakistan or you will replace them with a competitor and block imports. Look at your country from a real needs stand point and create businesses in Agriculture to the mind be your only limitation.....what you want to do (1) create jobs and Satisfy needs
They will assure success.
If you continue allowing you children to leave you country for a education...only you will understand and known the real cost.
Last, the Cost of Education. There is with Education at any level a cost. The Cost of Buildings, the Cost of Teachers, the Cost of Computer (Books are in the past)(All learn should be on-line and on the computer). The country that will be ultimately the most successful, is the country that passes this education on to its students at NO COST, or Minimal Cost.
Just check out what haapened in the US, granting WWII GI Bill, free College Education in 1946 and the changes to the US starting in mid 1950s.
I cannot say it enogh, you must reduce the brain drain from your country (hell my both of my Doctors are Pakistani) why...They are the Best! But, you have to educate them in Pakistan and keep them in Pakistan. Once they come to the US, UK, or where ever, the exposure to this Capitolist, Money Driven Society, with NO Morals will be the end of them.
