A separate London School of Economics analysis of nearly 15,000 universities in in 78 countries has found that doubling the number of universities in a region results in a 4.7% increase in GDP per capita in that area within five years.
New research by Times Higher Education, in partnership with University College London’s Centre for Global Higher Education (CGHE), suggests that when analysis is confined to elements relating to higher education, a somewhat different set of developing nations can be identified as potential future stars. These are Thailand, Argentina, Chile, Turkey, Iran, Colombia and Serbia – which, in the spirit of O’Neill, we are calling the TACTICS.
What are the requirements to make the TACTICS?
1. At least half of the youth population is enrolled in Higher Education.
2. Participation in Higher Education has grown by more than 5% between 2010 and 2014.
3. They have at least one university ranked in the best in the world as per the 'World University Rankings 2016-2017'
4. The amount of scientific citations published grew by more than 3,000 per year from a base of at least 30,000.
5. They a have a field‑weighted citation impact of at least 0.75.
6. In all these countries, GDP is below $15,000 per head.
I have always thought that focusing on higher education is integral for economic development.
Definitely, this is where a lot of current economic powers falter and in the long run get overtaken by other countries. South Korea being a case in point.
Brazil has exactly 27 universities in that ranking (Chile has only 10).
Are you sure you want to "move over" BRICS?
Yeah but it is the ACCESS to education, as a tool to get people out of poverty, that matters. From what I have seen, The Brazilian education model is set up to exclude a majority of the population, not include them.
Brazil has exactly 27 universities in that ranking (Chile has only 10).
Are you sure you want to "move over" BRICS?
Brazil has over 12x more people. So if Chile has 10, Brazil should have 120. That Brazil only has 2.7x actually makes Chile look better by comparison imo.
Call me when Chile starts to have any heavy industry and manufacturing industry, like Brazil has...
Besides raw copper, what does Chile exports?
Brazil exports executive jets and military aircraft. And exports motor vehicles to Chile.
You're going off on a completely different tangent. Countries don't need much heavy industry to improve Higher Education or be successful. Norway, Australia and Canada are perfect examples.
