“…In other words, these studies argue that there is bidirectional causality between economic education and economic growth. Studies that have findings consistent with this view include In and Doucouliagos (1997), Francis and Iyare (2006), Narayan and Smyth (2006), Islam et al (2007), Al-Yousif (2008, Beskaya et al (2010), Afzal et al (2011), Rashid (2014, Kyophilavong (2018), and Liao et al (2019), amongst others. In and Doucouliagos (1997) examine the causal relationship between private sector output and human capital formation using annual data for the United States from 1949 to 1984.…”

“…The author found that there is a feedback relationship between the two variables. Kyophilavong (2018), in examining the relationship between education and economic growth in Lao during the period 1984-2013, found evidence of a feedback causality between Education and economic growth in South Africa education and economic growth at all levels. The study recommends that more investment should be channelled towards the education sector in order to foster economic growth.…”

PurposeThis paper examines the dynamic causal relationship between education and economic growth in South Africa using annual time-series data from 1986 to 2017. The study attempts to answer one critical question: Does education, which is one of the priority sectors in South Africa, drive economic growth?Design/methodology/approachThe study uses the ARDL bounds testing approach and ECM-based Granger causality model to examine this linkage. The study also uses three proxies to measure the level of education. In addition, the study uses two variables: investment and labour, as intermittent variables between the various proxies of education and economic growth, thereby creating a system of multivariate Granger-causality models.FindingsThe study finds that the causal relationship between education and economic growth in South Africa is dependent on the variable used to measure the level of education. In addition, the causality tends to change over time. Overall, the study finds the causal flow from economic growth to education to supersede the causal flow from education to economic growth.Originality/valueUnlike some previous studies, the current study uses three proxies of education in South Africa and two intermittent variables in a multivariate setting. To our knowledge, this may be the first study of its kind to examine in detail the dynamic causal relationship between education and economic growth in South Africa – using the ARDL bounds testing approach and a multivariate Granger causality model.

Kyophilavong et al (2018) conducted a research in Laos during 1984-2013. The conclusion of his research is that education can provide positive and significant influence toward the economic growth in Laos.…”

“…In contrast, Kyophilavong, Ogawa, Kim, Nouansavanh (2018) have reported that some scholars are of the view that the relationship between education and economic growth is weak Bils and Klenow (2000). One study by Self and Grabowski (2004) in India has actually reported that causality runs from the primary education enrolment to growth; but that secondary education enrolment in tertiary education does not Granger cause growth.…”

Leveraging Technology-Mediated Adult and Distance Learning for Economic Growth in Africa#

Following the rudiments of contextual analysis, and based on theoretical and philosophical analyses, this paper explores how technology mediated adult and distance learning might contribute to the economic growth of Africa, all things remaining equal. It proceeds from the perspective of analysing the related contextual situations of selected countries in Africa through the brief review of Africa's technology readiness, and posited that the possible gains that could be made from the application of adult and distance learning are tacitly located in somewhat perfect management of systems and subsystems in education and the economy. Based on this analysis, it was proposed that whatever might be the state of Internet and technology readiness Africa has achieved, the successful creation of the nexus for economic growth is circumscribed unless the continent's political stability is assured now and in the future.
