This can help show how education can prepare individuals to be more competitive in an increasingly integrated and technology-based society. Therefore, policy and planning steps are needed in building national education, including 1. Committing to mastering basic literacy and numeracy skills, 2) Measuring learning regularly, accurately, and relevantly, 3) Aligning the system with learning commitments, 4) Supporting teachers in the teaching and learning process. 5) Adapting approaches in making educational policies. Support in adapting policies so that they are in accordance with the local context.
