Education in Rwanda. Rebalancing Resources to Accelerate Post-Conflict Development and Poverty Reduction

2003

International audience; Rwanda's recent history was marred by genocide in 1994, in which at least ten percent of the population lost their lives. Rebuilding the stock of human capital is an important part of the rehabilitation process, where the government has made efforts to broaden access to education, and enhance the quality of services. On the international stage, the education sector has also come into the limelight, specifically under the 2000 United Nations Millennium Declaration, and, the foregoing context presents clear challenges for education managers. The purpose of this report is to provide a factual basis for discussion. Noteworthy are the efforts to reduce grade repetition in…

Obtenir un emploi dans son domaine de formation l un enjeu très relatif dans l'insertion des jeunes

2009

09023; Paradoxalement, obtenir un premier emploi correspondant strictement à sa formation initiale n'est souvent pas la norme, en dehors de quelques professions ou formations bien réglementées. Cette « adéquation » se détériore même, le plus souvent, au fil de la carrière dans des secteurs peu attractifs. Si le niveau de diplôme assure en général un risque de chômage moindre et un salaire plus élevé, l'impact de la spécialité de formation est plus complexe. Les formations professionnelles ne procurent pas seulement des compétences spécifiques à un domaine d'emploi mais aussi, et peut-être tout autant, des compétences générales et transférables. Qui plus est, une fois la carrière engagée en …

L'éducation en Afrique sub-saharienne. Les indicateurs d'efficience et leur utilisation politique

2005

05047; National audience; Cet article examine l'idée selon laquelle les systèmes éducatifs africains ne souffriraient pas tant d'un manque de ressources que d'une mauvaise utilisation de celles-ci. Deux arguments soutiennent cette idée. Le premier relève d'une comparaison internationale de l'efficience fondée sur un indicateur -part des dépenses d'éducation dans le PIB / durée moyenne de scolarisation- défectueux. Le second rrelève de l'estimation des fonctions de production scolaire dont l'interprétation commune des résultats est incorrrecte. Cette double argumentation, discutable, dissuade une forte augmentation de l'aide et encourage l'expansion de systèmes dont la médiocrité, conforme à…

Student outcomes in Philippine elementary schools: An evaluation of four experiments

1999

International audience; Policymakers in most developing countries are concerned about high dropout rates and poor student learning in primary education. The government of the Philippines initiated the Dropout Intervention Program in 1990-92 as part of its effort to address these issues. Under this program, four experimental interventions were randomly assigned to 20 schools in selected low-income areas. Pre- and post-intervention data were collected from these schools, as well as from 10 control schools, in order to evaluate the program's impact on dropout behavior and student learning. The economic justification for replication appears to be strongest for the interventions that provided te…

Proximity and distance in spatial economic theory

1997

La proximité entre des éléments d’un ensemble évoque une certaine similitude entre un ou plusieurs de leurs attributs. Elle peut, en général, être évaluée par une distance. L’article revient d’abord sur l’idée de distance, son rôle et les modalités de son expression. Ensuite, il présente diverses représentations formalisées, il expose les contraintes qu’elles imposent dans la représentation de l’espace. Enfin, dans la mesure où la proximité d’un lieu est souvent définie par rapport à un ensemble d’autres sites, on met en évidence le rôle du choix d’une représentation de la distance dans la détermination du lieu qui offre la proximité optimale et l’influence du critère à partir duquel est dé…

Evaluation économique de la prématurité : une première année de vie aux enjeux majeurs : le cas de la France

2016

This thesis focuses on a first economic assessment of prematurity in France. Prematurity is defined as occurring before 37 weeks of gestation. It is increasing in France and worldwide. If the issues of public health are already well identified, medical care and collective choices concerning prematurity matters also involve significant economic challenges. The first part of this thesis attempts to present the public health issues of prematurity and highlights the remaining efforts required to provide prevention in France. It then considers economic issues on the use of socially fairer resources dedicated to perinatal health in a context where current health expenditure is rising. Assessment …

The association between board gender diversity and financial reporting quality, corporate performance and corporate social responsibility disclosure …

2017

Purpose (mandatory) Companies, politicians, the mass media, legislators, scholars and society in general have shown a growing interest in how board gender diversity affects a firm’s decisions. This concept has been developed because some nations have introduced voluntary policies to regulate and increase the proportion of female directors on corporate boards. Thus, the aim of this study is to review previous research based on board gender diversity as a corporate governance mechanism and its effect on some firms’ business decisions: Financial reporting quality (FRQ), firm performance and corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting. Design/methodology/approach (mandatory) We focus on age…

Benefit Incidence Analysis in Education

2007

07103; The standard benefit incidence algebra generally produces biased estimates of the distribution of public spending on education when students from poor and rich families are enrolled in schools that receive different levels of public spending per student. Except in very rare instances, removing these biases entails combining several sources of information in order to evaluate how unit spending varies across different population groups. Although such disaggregation is generally difficult to obtain, we show one way to overcome the data constraints that hinder a precise calculation of the incidence of public spending on education. The empirical example discussed in this article indicates…
