Education is one of the key pillars of inclusive development in its economic, social and political dimensions which is a key to progress and urbanization for any State in view of its leading role in sustainable development, Since the eighteenth century, economists - Adam Smith, Marx, Marshall and Maltus - have alerted the importance of investing in human capital through education and training But not until the 1950s and 1960s, Several applied studies have confirmed that economic development consists of two main components: The human component, which includes increasing human capacities by raising the level of education and raising the level of health; The material component, which includes increasing economic growth rates, is increasing per capita domestic product, and human capital theory emphasizes the important role that education plays as a key factor in the accumulation of human capital, achieving sustainable development and reducing poverty rates.

In addition, the practical importance of this study is to examine the impact of education on Libya's human development. development policies that lead to inclusive development. Drawing on the use of the analytical curriculum to determine the relationship between education and human development at the theoretical level, and analysing this relationship statistically, to test the study's main hypothesis: a statistically significant relationship exists between education and human development in Libya during the study period.
