WORLD´S POPULATION, POPULATION INCREASE, AND THE STATUS OF THE WORLD
The world´s population is currently 5-6 billions.
Only 4-5% of this population is educated.
Unfortunately, the majority of the world´s population is uneducated, in other words, potential danger.
Besides, the world´s population has been increasing with an uncontrollable, unstable, and inconceivable ignorance.
The animal population increases in accordance with the natural balances.
And human population increases under affections without intelligence and science.
Recently, in the first world countries, human engineering is being valued.
This field of science does not project an unstable population increase, but a planned and balanced population increase with qualified and educated people.
Unfortunately, this aim cannot be done under existing administrations.
The main reason of all negative events, sins, crimes, terrorist activities and the increase in criminal records is the abnormal rise of these uneducated people.
This is a socio-economic tragedy.
This reality lies beneath the root of these bad actions and pains in this world.

 umm do you have any evidence to support this?

And sorry don´t mean to be rude but what a load of cobblers.

What is your education level…

Are you a good reader…

Do you read World Bank books and other scientific researches...

Maybe you cannot understand  it…

I am smelling some attack in this zone... a call for duty then! I am now on alert! Let me wait and see whom to attack or defend...

4-5% top level education, yes. But that means education on a university level (minimum under-graduate). To say "4-5% is educated" isn´t correct.

What is your education level…

 umm well I would question your level of education as it seems you can not understand my simple question for evidence ? Surely no educated person would just take information that is given to them without questioning it.

I find your blind repeating  of information from a book as fact, arrogant and naive....

no comment

 yilgun, I think asking for the source of your information is a logical and reasonable question.  No need to be so defensive. 

Yes, you are right.

She is a good friend, I recognize her.

I am writing according to the world bank

and other scientific research resurces...

http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/TOPICS/EXTEDUCATION/0,,menuPK:282391~pagePK:149018~piPK:149093~theSitePK:282386,00.html

I must be crazy, but I am intrigued by Yilgun´s figures.  This is the World Bank site.  Would anyone care to search it?

Pardon me if I am showing my lack of intellect but is it scientific research or economic research?

A quote from the above site:

"The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. Our mission is to fight poverty with passion and professionalism for lasting results and to help people help themselves and their environment by providing resources, sharing knowledge, building capacity and forging partnerships in the public and private sectors."

Yilgun, perhaps the percentages you quoted relate to the developing countries . . . I don´t know.

Then we must be having the same hallucination!

This article is talking about the whole world population, not about your country.

Yilgun - if the article is about the whole population, it must include Uk (Peacetrain´s country).

Reading your first post I also wondered what you meant by education: being literate, or having primary/secondary or perhaps tertiary education?

Also, why do you ask about other´s people education level instead of answering their questions? Don´t you think it´s rude?

/DD, age 32, MA degree from a reputable university

I blame the mushrooms.

If this is addressed to me, the link I provided does not relate to my country (England) or indeed any single country.  Try as I might, I couldn´t find any statistics relating to the percentage of the world population that is educated. 

Education . . . how long is a piece of string?  What level of education is the percentage you quote referring to?

I don´t wish to be rude Yilgun, but please be clear in your response as I am finding it difficult to understand your comments.  Perhaps you can provide more detailed information.

Take pity on me, I´m an old lady who now feels even older, knowing that I went to Uni at the age DD is now!!  I gave up a job I´d held for 16 years and went to Uni with a 3 year old in tow.  I went from being educated to being more educated (I think) .  It´s never too late to learn.

I remember my first day at University (as a "wrinkly"), we were told we were amongst the top 5% in the country.  This is why I have a suspicion that the figure you quoted might relate to tertiary education and not education in general.

I have respect for Elisabeth, Daydreamer, Lady in red, Peacetrain and their thoughts...

I behave respectfully for them...I apologized to them for any wrong word in my posts.

 Don´t worry yilgun...your posts are always interesting.

We entered the 21st century with 6.828.700.000 people
 -the last population-.
I  think university or high school education is not only
main indicator or measurement for educated people.
University education and intellectual culture are
very different concepts.
Intellectual culture is very important virtue.
"People Culture" depends on family culture, education
and intellectual culture
(Literature, fine arts, philosophy, universal law,
world history, science, etc).

These fields and sciences (Literature, fine arts, philosophy,
universal law, world history, etc) only make people
cultured, well-educated or intellectual.

For example developed countries are importing good
brains from developing countries.Why?
look at the world population statistics
in the United Nations reports
and in the World Bank socio-economics reports:
There are big populations in
Asia, Africa, Latin America, Australia, etc.
You can easily understand these truths.
 

According to the United Nations, to be precise the UNDP, the combined gross enrolment ratio in education is 67,5% in the entire world. On details about how this is calculated, see the human development report.

source: http://hdr.undp.org/en/media/HDR_2009_EN_Complete.pdf See page 174

You can also see in this report that there is a difference between men and women in education. In some countries, we see that girls are denied basic education, whereas in other countries women represent the majority of university students. It´s an interesting difference.

I see now that I´m also required to offer my credentials here I have a university degree, and am currently working for a research centre which is part of the university. We link business, government and NGOs with scientific research to find solutions for sustainable development. 

I  think university or high school education is not only
