Namibia: Impact of education quality on return to education

This study investigates the effect of education quality on rates of return to education in Namibia. In particular, the question raised in this study is whether the quality of schooling as proxied by better school resources matters much in determining future earnings of people. The study finds that school resources as measured by pupil-teacher ratio and teacher qualification had very little impact on rate of returns to education. This implies that school resources are an inadequate measure of quality of education received by an individual.
