نویسنده
چکیده
When we talk about “potential learners,” it is unhelpful to dissociate them from their environment, more so because the economic well-being of the respective countries in which they live vary. Also, existing national educational provision and economic and social services are essential contributory factors worthy of consideration. More relevant, perhaps, is that the dictates of the national job market should serve as an indicator for the skills needed for sustenance and potential national economic development. Ignoring all these attendant influences in national development where diverse economic backgrounds dictate their respective national policies would only result in an incomplete picture of the status quo.
