Abstract


The characteristics of technological development in industrialised countries is that the demands for goods and services have become more education-intensive. Such development has become internationalised. The intemationalisation of technological production has a considerable impact on the training system in different countries. Developing countries are also rapidly industrialising themselves. However there is a fast change in the technological process. As a result failure to ^ve due consideration to technological changes is one of the chief shortcomings of educational planning. The result of this planning defident^ is the mismatch between education and employment It is necessary for the developing countries to keep themselves abreast of the state of tedmological progress around tiie world and choose the type of tedmology that wiD make maximum contribution to the longterm development of the country.
