Germany has one of the world's highest levels of education, technological development, and economic productivity. Since the end of World War II, the number of youths entering universities has more than tripled, and the trade and technical schools of the Federal Republic of Germany (F.R.G.) are among the world's best. They value education as they have come to realise that their export trade and resource poor country can only compete with the world market if they have highly trained, well educated and skilled workforce.
