Education as a tool of social mobility

Education has been one of the best tool of personal transformation and enabling the uplifting of those from abject poverty.Education for the not so developed country is an investment for the future but focus more on career training and not on meeting the propagandic needs of politics.When the basic needs of security,freedom from hunger and ill health are met,the citizens would show their loyalty to the state.So to throw around abstractions like freedom,truth,,plurality and happiness means nothing to the grassroot level when Maslow's most basic needs at the lowest level cannot be met .The conditions can be created for conducive business environment and job generation is job of the government with its macro economic policies that encourages investment by businesses.The stage for social instability is set when there are masses of educated youths and not enough jobs which can meet their qualifications.Such mismatch will see fodder for unrest.
