What do you think

Recently I was reading an article discussing education In developing countries. this is what was said,

higher education has two fundamental responsibilities to help ensure the continued well-being of the nation today:

<pre><code>* to provide graduates and the nation at large with the skills needed to be effective in a global, increasingly competitive economy, in which corporations reach across nations and geographical divides in search of new markets, more efficient production, and less costly labor; and

  • to close the achievement gap between those students in this country who are advantaged—educationally, culturally, and economically—and those who are not.
    </code></pre>

Do you think the education systems in your countries have achieved this. you are allowed to give a yes or no comment.
