But whether it constitutes a strategy for economic growth is another matter. What most people mean by better education is more schooling; and, by higher-quality education, they mean the effective acquisition of skills (as revealed, say, by the test scores in the OECD’s standardized PISA exam).
教育的重要性毋庸置疑 ——教学是我的日常工作，因此我当然希望它有价值。但它是否构成经济增长战略是另一回事。多数人眼中更好的教育是接受更多教育；而更高质量教育是指有效地学会技能（比方说像经合组织标准化PISA考试成绩）。但这是否真是经济增长的推动力？
