Research On Benin’s Education And Human Resource Policies

Realizing the importance of education and human resources in under-developed and developing countries, a lot of governments had begun to pay more attention in improving the education quality in their countries. However, whether the desired level of education quality is equally distributed is still debated on.On top of that, current literature on which level of education either basic or tertiary brings greater yield to the society and is still inconclusive. It is not the purpose of this paper to respond or add on the debate. On the other hand this paper would like to explore the relationship between school quality, human resources management and economic growth. Educational inequality at primary and secondary education would be measured. Using GDP as the dependent variable, we’ d be able to show which level of education inequality is significant by explaining the economic growth of a country.So as to meet the challenges of changing demands for advanced knowledge both quantity and quality of higher education should be enhanced. To generate good-quality educational output at the tertiary level, a country should raise sufficient public and private resources and allocate them efficiently among various school inputs. Transitional economies, in particular which have limited resources, may face difficulties in improving school inputs at once, so setting priorities in allocating public resources is important. Also, to recruit and retain qualified professors and researchers, providing sufficient incentives is necessary and should be considered as priority.
