Knowledge based economies are at advantage in today's liberalized global market. Yet, Latin American and Caribbean countries struggle to provide its inhabitants with the educational levels and advanced skills needed to participate in the creation and application of new knowledge.The formation of skilled and knowledgeable individuals demands an all-embracing education system and by building the skills and research capacity domestically, the private sector will enhance the capacity to develop, assimilate and apply new knowledge and technologies, and thereby diversify the economy, foster competitiveness and spur economic growth that is necessary for sustained poverty reduction.
These presentations provides information about the World Bank's assistance to Latin American and Caribbean countries in providing increased access to quality tertiary education and promoting Science, Technology and Innovation. More
