Relevance of education in competitiveness
Main Article Content
Abstract
Education has been linked as a determinant of growth and in an expanded sense, of development. The emergence of new analytical levels as competitiveness considers understanding what the relevance of education in these new spaces is. This document makes a journey through theoretical approaches of the relationship between education and a concept of competitiveness in a broader sense than growth and development. It also presents a critical view of the emphasis given to education coverage by policy makers, even though the evidence shows that without quality of education, as a main determinant of competitiveness, the accomplishments that can be achieved are few. Finally, new realities facing competitiveness are presented as a further challenge to these critical areas.
