The National Domestic Economic Auto-Sustainability Model (NDEAS-Model) Platforms
The Domestic Education and Technical Training Standardization Platform (P1)
The first platform in the NDEAS-Model is the domestic education and technical training
standardization platform (P1). This program uses an action framework to create domestic high
qualified human capital based on the standardization of education and training at the national
level. In this platform, an action framework is used to standardize private education in the
country and to concurrently create the conditions to produce highly qualified domestic labor
with high productivity and competitiveness. This pool of capable human capital, in turn,
provides goods and services with high added value that competes well in the domestic and
international market, as well as serving as a primary tool to reduce unemployment and job
creation.
There are four principal domestic activities in this program, namely:
1. Free education to raise their basic education level
2. National coordination and standardization of elementary and high school programs
3. Local development of technical training programs
4. Setting up any national university information network based on joint research and
development projects capitalizes on these four activities (Ruiz Estrada, 2005)
This program's general objective is to lay a solid national education foundation for the younger
generation in the country so that they can compete domestically and internationally.
At the tertiary level, the development of a domestic technical training program tries to join
different academic programs in various scientific fields by exchanging educational programs
at the national level, including the transfer of professors and experts and joint research and
development (R) in different scientific areas. An exchange of regional professors (and experts)
in various fields (for short courses and seminars) should be implemented.
This approach, accompanied by national scholarships at the Master’s and Doctoral programs
around the world, together with joint research and development (R&D) among universities in
the same country, is more likely to meet with success. This approach should be complemented
with the offer of national post-graduate scholarships among universities in the same region.
About national technical training, this program proposes a common strategy for the
coordination and standardization of national training in different sectors such as agriculture,
industry, and services to be put under the purview of national technical institutes and
engineering faculties of the universities in the country.
Meanwhile, the national information technology platform should be considered the basis of
national education development. It is instrumental in information exchange in the coordination
and standardization effort of this education and technical training program. It is responsible for
coordinating all programs using information exchange at different levels based on the
knowledge and professional training standardization programs.
The Domestic Productive Infrastructure and Transportation Platform (P2)
This section considers two types of infrastructure and transportation systems in the domestic
public infrastructure: transportation and domestic private infrastructure and transportation. It
is especially pertinent to pay attention to these two types of infrastructure and transportation
