In general, education—as a critical component of a country’s human capital—increases the efficiency of each individual worker and helps economies to move up the value chain beyond manual tasks or simple production processes (WEF 2016). Human capital has long been considered the most distinctive feature of the economic system and further work have proven the impact of education on productivity growth empirically
Education comes both in formal and informal ways. We have to have some form of knowledge on whatever we want to do. I think here you are asking about the formal one. Education has always a “positive impact” on the individual’s life in many ways. However, since life is integrated, education alone may not have that much impact if there is no peace, good governance and other necessary aspects of life.

Economically, as the per capita increases, the GDP of the country. Contributions of an educated person to the country are in many forms.

Yes dear Mengistu. Education always plying important role in overall development of a country; where economic development is one of the prime indicator. Education means perfection of mind and in modern time education is divided into two types; formal and informal. Most of the farmers of rural areas are educted about agriculture and their livelihood through informal mode; even in present day many of formal educated youths also trusted their interest to the agriculture sector. So from my view point illiteracy and uneducableness is not same thing. Illiterate means he or she is not trained through formal channel; but trained through homey and societal habits. Although formal educated person are more capable and intelligent then others. So it is right to say education is always positive impact on economic development and formal education always rore impacted than informal education.

Education can be both positive effects and negative for the economy. The positive effect is with a country of 80% literacy the economy will be boosted due to the exposure to how people can use technology to access their needs. e.g. Instead of queuing up in line to apply for a land title or deeds a person can use his computer or phone to do so and he will receive his response through email, so it's always fast on doing business, schoolwork, and so on. The negative effect education causes rots to the country whereby educated once speedup their professionals just to benefit themselves and neglect the poor.
