SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, AND NATION BUILDING
Science- knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through
experiments and observation
Technology- the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it
is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment.
Nation building- is the process whereby a society of people with diverse origins, histories,
languages, cultures and religions come together within different boundaries.
Science and technology are key drivers to development, because technological and
scientific revolutions underpin economic advances, improvements in health systems,
education and infrastructure.
MODERNIZATION in every aspect of life is the greatest example of the implementation
of science and technology in every nation.
Today, countries are classified as developed and developing countries. The major
categorization is based on economy and the application of science and technology.

To promote technological advances, developing countries should invest in quality
education for youth, continuous skills training for workers and managers, and should
ensure that knowledge is shared as widely as possible across society.
