This paper focuses on the relationship between technology and education. Technology is one of the most important determinants of economic development and the level of technology is one the most obvious factor that distinguishes a poor country from the rich one. Also, technological change has become more strongly biased in favor of skilled workers. Because today's global knowledge intensive technologies require a workforce that understands how to use technology as a tool to increase productivity and creativity. Worldwide experience shows that the education has always been a critical complement to technological growth and that what we need is concerted and serious nation-al effort to achieve it. Some countries have successfully combined education and technology policies and they have broken the vicious circle while other developing economies stagnated. Thus, countries with low levels of education renıain in a trap of technological stagnation, low growth, and low productivity. Turkey needs to nanrow down the gap anıong skills, to renıain as a competitive player in global markets. in this paper, these policies are discussed related to some successful countries.
