EDUCATION: In Developing Nations

A lack of appropriate education is another obstacle to economic development in third-world countries.  Many developing countries do not have a highly literate population nor do they have the high level of technical skills needed to build an industrial society.  In addition, most do not have money to train engineers and scientists.  Many developing nations cannot afford to provide free public education for school-age children.  In those that can, not everyone is able to take advantage of it because children must work to help their families.
