a) It should be available to the generality of the people but in such a way that quality is not sacrificed for quantity. This raises the question of equality of educational opportunities which is still a myth in many African countries.
b) It should show a great deal of concern for the development of all natural resources of the society in which it operates. If suitable manpower is not trained to exploit the natural resources of the nation, foreign investors may take charge of the economy, leaving the country persistently impoverished.
c) There should be a lively curriculum’ that teaches vocational and tech- nical courses as well as the general development of a scientific attitude necessary for experimentation and inquiry. This education should concern itself with developing the individual as an effective role player and contributor to the economy. Total realization of economic educational goals depends largely on the individual's personality and behaviour, as seen in punctuality, readiness to take assignments
from time to time and the quality of the output.
d) There should be a well run and systematic programme for teacher training. All educational efforts may be fruitless unless a positive teacher education program is maintained.
