4. Liechtenstein Dialogue for Development

EDUCATION FOR GROWTH

Education is fundamental to the progress of a society and its economy. However, in some countries it has reached its full potential, while in others it is lagging behind. There are probably many reasons for this, including insufficient interest or understanding, inadequate teacher training and lack of teaching materials. Technological advances, in particular artificial intelligence, have the potential to revolutionize the educational landscape, offering new possibilities and unprecedented opportunities.
