Education is the key to development Human development depends on the internalisation of external inputs. The individual will can release itself from the collective poverty of underdevelopment through hard work over decades of time. Development cannot be either enforced on the individual nor withheld by external forces. Improvement of the human resource will almost always be evolutional, seldom revolutional. Long term improvement begins with attitudinal change in the mind of the individuals.
Economic development begins with the change from traditional to innovative ways of thinking.
Social development begins with change from elitist to communal thought patterns. Biologic development begins with awareness of the communal importance of public health as the key to private health. The present tendency to set specific reference points for the measurement of health status is biologically unsound and intellectually misleading. There is a wide range of acceptable health standards for any measurable aspect of diet or disease. Accurate measurement of health standards depends on the acceptance of the reality of human variability and adaptation over a wide range of inputs and conditions.
