Title: Education and
Technology: The Ways of Access To The Knowledge Society: How Far
We Are?
Abstract: In knowledge-based economies,
human
capital is the main source of progress. But even more important,
knowledge,
is also the key to a broader understanding of development – whether
human
development or sustainable development. In a world of rising
technologies,
telecommunications and technological sophistication, the quality of the
labor
force is given by the education process and all its positive
implications.
The subject of this proposed paper it supported also by the
general
preoccupation of world greatest organizations (UNESCO, UNDP, UNICEF,
World
Bank) about achieving equality in the field of education and
reducing
the knowledge gap in the sector of technologies, through
education. The different social groups are far from having equal
access and capacity
to assimilate this growing flow of information or knowledge that marks
our
era. Not only do the most disadvantaged socio-economic categories have
often
a limited access to information or to knowledge, but also they do not
assimilate
it as well as those who are on the highest rung of the social ladder.
