Summary: | The report opens with a brief
description of the conceptual framework that guided the
analysis as well as the data used. The next chapter presents
the analysis of changes in household behavior and
educational outcomes related to the implementation of the
reforms, at both the primary and secondary levels. The
descriptive nature of this analysis does not allow for
inferences regarding the effects of the reforms on
enrollment and demand for education. The following chapter
presents the results of an econometric impact analysis of
the reforms to quantify the magnitude of the effects on
enrollment. In considering priorities for the future, the
Government is paying increasing attention to the impact of
the investments in education on growth, jobs, and poverty
reduction, as measured by increased earnings from
employment, and particularly by improving opportunities for
the labor force to move to higher productivity activities
and livelihoods. The next chapter presents the results on
the changing structure of employment in Mozambique between
2003 and 2008, the impacts of education on employment
opportunities, and the implications of these changes for
education policy. The final chapter integrates the education
and labor force analyses and provides strategic
recommendations as Mozambique continues to improve
educational outcomes, particularly for those population
groups that have had the most difficulty entering and
remaining in school. |
