  25. The Road to Kaunas • While tertiary education remains important, secondary education appears to be the most important for regional economic performance. Higher Education is clearly essential in terms of innovations, but secondary education instils the intermediary skills, which are also crucial to the new industrial know-how and ‘learning-by-doing’. • High levels of individual learning in themselves do not contribute to economic growth before it has been applied to the production of goods and services. It is important therefore to stress the practical application of learning and to encourage creativity at all levels of education. • OECD – Cities and Regions in the New Learning Economy

  27. One major objective of regional management is to develop a means by which educational and other organizations have a common purpose. – each one learning from each other and each one learning with each other – in planning and implementing social and economic innovations. When this happens societies are able to innovate because they have the capacity for collective learning about how to develop new knowledge and, in particular, practical ‘know-how’ type of knowledge.

It is whether all these diversities can co-exist in an area that decides whether the society of a region becomes a people-smart, socially responsible and culturally diverse space or a ‘bad neighbourhood.’ Cannon, Nathan and Westwood LEARNING CITIES AND REGIONS
