Developing countries’ priority in programs is given to training human resources. Higher education puts forward new demands and concerns and heightens the expectations of the educated people. Besides, the advancement of modern communication and information technologies accelerates this process. The concurrence of the recent trends in globalization with the performance of development-oriented government in training their human resources, has led to the emergence of modern democracy-wisher and participation-seeker social forces in developing countries. This process could result in a high potential for development and renovation; however, the strategy of states in the form of a step-by-step development in various fields has produced the adverse outcome for these countries. What would be the challenges before development-oriented government in following a step-by-step development process concurrent with the promotion of education in the society? And how would the rise of new demands along with the objection of modern educated forces, who are focused on economic development, be understandable? Before answering this question, it must be clarified that the modern social forces, having different concerns from those of the planned steps of development, are recognized as the anti-development forces. The requirements of these growing classes of the society are not prioritized within the development plans of developing countries. Due to the lack of structural integration, these countries are deprived from utilizing the talents of these educated forces as the main source of development. Based on the necessity of solidarity and mobilization of social forces for development specifically the educated people, in this study we will analyze the development plans and by redefining development, we will try to identify the solidarity and balance required by the society for the realization of development as a strategy for fulfillment of development plans.
