For the last couple of months i have been working on a paper, on the impact
education has on growth and stability in the new economy, I am coming to the
end of my research, but would like to invite anyone who has any insights or
leads to kindly forward them to me. I can also make a draft of the report
available to anyone who is remotely interested.
