More Investment in IBSE and STEM from Pre-School Upwards in Developing Countries
I would strongly advocate instead of increase in GERD, developing countries should invest much more in STEM education the IBSE way for the continuous career development of science and maths teachers in schools, technical colleges and universities.
As demonstrated by the billionaire dropouts, their spectacularly successful digital innovations and apps are the fruits of their innovative and creative minds nurtured by IBSE savvy teachers and aided by freely available knowledge from the Internet.
I would suggest this is the most cost effective way to participate in the global digital economy value chain and gain slices of the growing economic pie.
