Education and Economic Development
May 21, 2010
Teachers study the children’s work the way a literary critic studies a novel, looking for meaning in themes and imagery, and, especially, searching out the motivations and developmental arcs of the characters.

"Nations build this by strengthening education, healthcare, access to scientific knowledge, opportunities for women, and incentives that attract skilled immigrants. A continuous focus on education is the driving force in the rise of the middle class in Asia.... The return on investment in education is apparent in a comparison of Singapore and Jamaica, former British colonies that once shared many similarities. In the early 1960s, each had a population of 1.6 million and almost exactly the same gross domestic product per capita.... Then they diverged. Jamaica stuck to agriculture, mining and tourism, while Singapore focused on educating its people, who expanded manufacturing capacity and developed advanced technology. Today, Singapore's GDP per capita is nearly $39,000 — more than seven times that of Jamaica."
