discuss the socio-economic trends as a determinant of the Malaysian

Answer 1

• Investment in secondary education delivers a demonstrable benefit to economic development, far more than universal primary education alone can.
• More and better education should be a key goal for foreign policymakers because it enables people to assist themselves, which helps to strengthen governance and eliminate corruption.
• The emphasis on human capital as a driver of economic growth in Malaysia has resulted in an overemphasis on school achievement.
