From the Preface: "\'Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance\' in developing countries economic growth can mainly be enhanced by a science and technology policy. However, science and technology can play their role in development only when the integrity of the whole enterprise-research institutions, universities, publications research priorities and emphasis and the education of creative scientists, as well as those active in science in preserved. Thus, the simplest strategy in developing countries is first of all, to increase the percentage of GNP that is to be devoted to universities and research institutions. The role of basic education, it is also important to ensure balanced development of education, other words improved education systems at all levels."
