Business schools train its students to manage finances, supply chain and people. Often adults return to school for job or small business training in an effort to meet a new standard for employment.
Non-industrial nations have had a diverse standard for education at best. Some families have sacrificed to send their children to the industrialized countries. The global challenges for an appropriate quality of education are legion and wrought with opportunity. Long distance training technology combined with local mentoring has the chance of spreading knowledge at unprecedented rates.
