The Power Of Education: Boosting Economic Growth In The Long Run | Intellections

I think education is falling because now people pursue higher education without realizing his or her individual skills
which need to be polished to improve his or her qualities as humanbeings
Many suffer before completing the degree as a result of this
While there are some of those who are aware of his or her skills which need to be polished but lack of tuition fee or lack of opportunity to scholarship
