Education And Its Importance Education is one of the most powerful instruments for reducing poverty and inequality and for laying the basis for sustained economic growth. It is fundamental for the construction of democratic societies and knowledge-based, globally competitive economies. For individuals and for countries, education is the key to creating, adapting,and spreading knowledge. Basic education develops capacity to learn and to interpret information. Higher and technical education are necessary for the effective generation, dissemination and application of knowledge and for preparing an entrepreneurial labor force that can adapt flexibly to a constant stream of technological advances. Therefore, to ensure their full participation in knowledge-driven development, countries need to build their human capital and adapt their entire education systems to the challenges of the "learning" economy. Education for all is a necessary first step in this process.
