Education and Economic Synthesis

Abstract

Education, according to a vague but often accepted generalisation, is the only hope of a nation. Whether it is or not, the many branches of human endeavour which constitute modern education have generally not succeeded in stabilising man's psychological perspective in a volatile world. Be it politics, economics, or religion, disorder is the rule of the day and educators are hard pressed to offer explanation except in a highly fragmented way. Yet, it is educators who are largely charged with the intellectual development of the individual and the nation. We can ask: What is the source of the problem and how can it be met?
