Abstract: Abstract The problem of determining the balance to be maintained among the different levels of education is as familiar to economists as it is to teachers. For the former it implies the fairest allocation of the resources devoted to education among the different levels, i.e. among primary, secondary and higher education, while for the latter it signifies the most suitable structure for an educational system in the light of an assessment of that proportion of the population which should continue studying up to a specific age-level. Both these aspects should be taken into consideration in planning education.
