In entry 13 of our Spanish Blog there is also a link to a nice and interesting video on "Education in Finland", explaining how the educational level of population usually contributes to increase the quality of government, selection of advisors and voice of citizens  In the right column of that blog there are links to several videos related with economic development and quality of life.

The Video of the  "Story of a Frog" tell us about the importance of Citizens Voice in Government Quality. Education usually contributes to foster Citizens Voice and Government Effectiveness. Econometrics research also shows those positive effects. Educated population has an important role to avoid manipulation of public opinion and to foster good quality of life for all.
