CHAPTER SPREAD OF EDUCATION AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
When education is regarded as an investment, the amount invested
varies as a rule among countries in accordance with the stage or extent of their
socio-economic development. However, even in countries with similar stages of
development, the amount of the investment in education may differ greatly according

of education in this country will be considered in comparison with that in other
countries.
