Abstract: This paper explores the economic effect of the rapid increase of modern and vocational programmes of education experienced in France and Prussia at the end of the 19th century. Our analysis depicts the dramatic increase in enrollments in post elementary education experienced by France and Prussia at the end of the 19th century that appeared mainly in the new modern and vocational programmes of education closely linked with economic and industrial area. Our approach stresses on the economical stakes related to the rise of modern and vocational paths of education. On the ground of the perceived positive economic role of modern and vocational programmes of education, we try to test, in a second part, the hypothesis that seems to have motivated the French and German reformers at the end of the19th century. Hence we use times series analysis in order to appraise if the rise of modern and vocational education has contributed to economic growth in France and Prussia from the 1880s to the beginning of the First World War.
