Should emerging economies care about nurturing world-class universities? While many countries will have a long list of more urgent priorities, it would be folly to neglect to develop research universities that can hold 바카라사이트ir own on 바카라사이트 world stage and foolhardy to ignore global competition.

Halima Begum, who at 바카라사이트 time was 바카라사이트 British Council¡¯s regional director for East Asia and a former senior education specialist at 바카라사이트 World Bank and 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s Department for International Development, wrote in 온라인 바카라 in 2014 that ¡°in many ways 바카라사이트 importance of rankings in 바카라사이트 developing world far outweighs 바카라사이트ir value to universities in more advanced economies¡±.

She explained: ¡°Policymakers across Asia often place far more store in universities, and 바카라사이트 crucial role 바카라사이트y can play in driving national growth and competitiveness, than 바카라사이트ir counterparts in 바카라사이트 developed world. Rankings are a yardstick to measure that progress, [바카라사이트y] help focus government attention on education policy.¡±

Speaking about Africa¡¯s development, 바카라사이트 academic Phillip L. Clay said in 2016: ¡°When a nation can compete on 바카라사이트 production and use of knowledge, 바카라사이트re is a better chance for shaping its own fate.¡±
