Economic Development and Public Education: Strategies and Standards.
McGregor, Eugene B., Jr.
Educational Policy, v8 n3 p252-71 Sep 1994
The literature shows a strong connection between education standards and economic development, but the mechanisms are many and complex. Four human capital development approaches are available: redesigning and rebuilding the foundation (scrapping the back-to-basics approach); stressing applications skills required by high-performance organizations; developing high-end intellectual capacities required to implement continuously innovative development processes; or mixing all three.
