No 19, Policy Research Working Paper Series from The World Bank

Abstract: Cote d'Ivoire spends more of its budget (42 percent) on education than any other country in the world. The purpose of this paper is to present an economic assessment of vocational and technical education (VTE) within the country. This assessment takes a three-pronged approach. First, it studies the impact of VTE on earnings, analyzes the role of VTE in gaining access to different types of jobs and third, examines the cost structures of both formal and informal VTE such as out-of-pocket costs, opportunity costs and institutional costs. As part of this presentation, the paper also discusses the household survey which is the main data source for the analysis. In addition, it describes the general education sector in Cote d'Ivoire, the formal system of vocational and technical education, the system of informal apprenticeships and the Bank's involvement in the education sector in the country.
