Abstract: The objective of this paper is to analyze the determinants of public decision-making regarding the allocation of primary education resources in the West Region. Using a Spatial Autoregressive Probit (SAR Probit) model, the results reveal two main findings. First, public decisions on the allocation of primary education resources exhibit spatial dependence. Second, these decisions are not influenced by the demand for education, but rather by political factors, the incidence of monetary poverty, and the availability of existing material educational resources. Based on these results, the main recommendation is that public authorities should consider equity-based criteria such as effective demand for education (population size or school-age population) and the socio-economic characteristics of populations in each district when designing and planning education policies. This approach would help ensure universal access to quality education, as targeted by the 2020–2030 National Development Strategy.
