Inconsistency in Educational Politics

Politics and higher education in this country often have bad relations. The politicization of education and policy inconsistency take place frequently.

So far, our attitude toward the world of education and knowledge tends to be ambiguous.

On the one hand, almost all agree that the level of progress and prosperity of a nation is largely determined by the ability to present superior human capital produced by an excellent education and innovation system. On the other hand, the measurement of development success in our political leaders' speeches usually emphasizes quantitative macroeconomic variables, such as GDP, per capita income and physical infrastructure.
