    (University of the Western Cape, 2006) Gisanabagabo, Sebuhuzu; JACOBS, T; Dept. of Economics; Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences
    This research explored two interrelated issues in development economics. FIrstly, it investigated the importance of secondary and tertiary education for long-run growth of low-income economics. Secondly, it examined possible ways to invest in these higher levels of education. It draws on insights on these two issues to highlight lessons for Rwanda where policy makers have set out plans to build a knowledge economy in which science and technology would form the basis of the modern enterprise.
