30.6 Summary

• The National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA) is an autonomous
organization that emphasizes planning, management and capacity building in educational policy,
through research, training, consultancy and dissemination.
• Universities play a crucial role in generating new ideas, and in accumulating and transmitting
knowledge, yet they have remained peripheral to development concerns.
• Education contributes to the growth of national income and individual earnings.
• Economic growth currently depends on the capacity to produce knowledge based goods.
• If knowledge is a source of economic growth, disparities in its distribution become a source of
inequality among nations.
