The “C” (Culture) Factor
Culture X Literacy = Education X Marketplace = GDP
C = A nation’s attitudes & motivation on the importance of personal learning & applying it throughout life.
L = Personal reading practices & formal schooling.
E = The “critical mass” of a nation’s knowledge.
M = The socioeconomic forces driving business, government and non-profit activities.
GDP = Gross Domestic Product: The wealth of a nation.
