Do you hear the clarion calls?

The Education Paradox!(or one more clarion call)

…established wisdom!Human capital plays a decisive role, and the capacity to learn matters more than the level of knowledge. While secondary school certificates were the trump cards of industrialization, higher degrees are those of the knowledge economy. Lifelong training is essential.
Lundvalle, 1998Knowledge Economies in MENA, WBI, 2003
“Over the next ten years, 26 of the top 30 fastest growing jobs require some post-secondary education or training … The demand for skilled workers is outpacing supply, resulting in attractive, high-paying jobs going unfilled.”
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and TrainingInnovate America, Dec. 2004

Ricardo HausmannMay, 2015
China started with less education than Tunisia, Mexico, Kenya, or Iran in 1960, and had made less progress than them by 2010. And yet, in terms of economic growth, China blew all of them out of the water. The same can be said of Thailand and Indonesia vis-à-vis the Philippines, Cameroon, Ghana, or Panama. Again, the fast growers must be doing something in addition to providing education.
Hausmann’s finding!

activities, human capital quality, past experience in innovation and public subsidies on probability of firms to innovate; whereas, ownership structure has a negative impact.

1. On the Continental Level:i. Initiate work on PAIES by building on past experiences, available
literature, and “best” practices,ii. Identify and map the RISs, and potential causes of failures for
future policies design and implementation,iii. Initiate progressively the AE and AR Areas, aligned with the
PAIES framework while maintaining national, regional and continental coherence,
2. On the Countries level:i. “Benchmark” the NISs, and help identify promising
industry/services growth niches,ii. Identify R&D priorities, missing policies, and S&T
policies/management capacity building, in coherence with (i) and the new framework,
iii. Accelerate the contextualized convergence to the AE and AR Areas, with emphasis on institutional autonomy.
Phase I (now-2025)
9-10/09/2015 STEPI 1st STI&D Conf., Seoul 24
1. On the Continental Level:i. Facilitate the development of the identified RISs in coherence
with the desired/emerging PAIES,ii. Assist in shaping the RISs, while consolidating the NISs,iii. Finalize the blue print needed for the launching of the PAIES,
2. On the Countries level:i. Implement the needed changes to secure the viability of their
NISs,ii. Initiate the needed transformations to adopt the identified
industries/services niches,iii. Actively contribute, with the concerned regional countries and
the assistance of e.g., the AU, to the creation and emergence of the RIs.
Phase II (now-2035)
9-10/09/2015 STEPI 1st STI&D Conf., Seoul 25
1. On the Continental Level:i. Progressively launch the PAIES,ii. Evaluate, monitor and “smartly” tweak the NISs, the RISs and
the PAIES to viably sustain the three levels system,iii. Revisit the PAIES blue print such as the vision, mission and
strategies, along with the related programs and projects in order to fit the new local, regional and global contexts and dynamics,
2. On the Countries level:i. Steer effectively their NISs in coherence and complementarity
with their RIS,ii. Contribute effectively to their RIS and insure coherence with the
PAIES,iii. Fully engage with their NIS and RES, and actively participate in
the related governing bodies to sustain and enhance the systemic viability of the PAIES.
Phase III (now-2045)
