How do educational disparities affect nanotechnology development?
Education is a key factor in the development of nanotechnology. Countries with well-established educational systems and strong emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education are better positioned to train the next generation of nanotechnologists. In contrast, regions with inadequate educational infrastructure may struggle to produce skilled professionals, further widening the gap in technological advancement. Initiatives to improve STEM education and provide opportunities for underrepresented groups are essential to addressing this disparity.
