Government investments are often discussed on popular media these days It is often argued by some people that the government should alucate resources for infrastructure development. Meanwhile others argue that education sector should be given priority in order to reduce illiteracy.
This essay will explore both sides of argument before reaching the logical opinion.
On the one hand, the supporters of investment of roads believe that it can leave to economic growth .As poor infrastructure means effected trading influencing economy. Take an example of Japan, where the recent introduction of transcontinental super highway with Eastern Eourope has completely transformed the local economy. Thus, investment on infrastructure is indeed worthwhile.
While on other hand, the advocates if investment om education sector believe that it would reduce illiteracy rate. As investment on school can indeed make quality education affordable. For instance, in South Africa the rapid rise in litteracy rate have been attributed to the education of reforms of 2013 which signified greater investment by the government in education sector. Hense , investment on education is also beneficial for masses.
However, I believe that the government should invest money equally on both these important sectors, the education sector and the road development. as this approach would not help in reduction in illiteracy, but also it would aid economic growth.
