Abstract

Any country's progress relies on its educational development in society. Only through dynamic, resourceful, entrepreneurial, and responsible people can civilization progress. If people like that don't become involved, the nation will never go far. This kind of education is a valuable resource in making such citizens. The single most essential component of both fast economic growth and technical advancement is present. Studies have shown that education is the most significant factor in the social and economic development of a country. In industrialised countries, people are automatically entitled to a basic education supplied by the state. It is accepted that elementary education is the bedrock of literacy, which is regarded important for the development of society and particularly critical for women's liberation. A strong foundation may be established in the growth of any nation via elementary education, while higher education gives that country an advantage in its competition.
