Abstract

The significance of education in the development of societies has increasingly garnered the attention of scholars. This study takes an educational perspective on development, aiming to elucidate the role and status of education in the developmental process. It seeks to highlight the various dimensions of education’s importance in development, as well as its level of influence and determinacy in this domain. A developed society is shaped by individuals with developed personalities; in other words, unless there is a transformation in people’s insights, attitudes, and consequently behaviors, and unless individuals' actions become rational and logical, efforts to achieve development in all its dimensions will not yield successful outcomes. The institution of education can play a pivotal role in this regard. The education system, by utilizing various factors and applying both direct and indirect methods, can contribute to the formation of individuals with developed personalities and the promotion of a developmental culture through development-oriented education and training. In other words, education can provide the qualitative transformation necessary for development.
