description Overview Although the terms developed / underdeveloped countries have become very controversial, it cannot be denied that there are differences between countries with high levels of economic and social development and countries at the lower end of the economic spectrum. In this series of articles, we want to explore education in countries facing various challenges in terms of their development, social and economic life, stability and instability in the country and other factors that mitigate against the offering of education. There are significant social and economic differences between developed and developing countries. Many of the underlying causes of these differences are rooted in the long development history of such nations and include social, cultural and economic variables, historical and political elements, international relations, and geographical factors.
