Abstract This research focuses on the analysis of the determinants of general
and vocational educational choices in Arab economies with comparisons to other
regions of the world. The selected framework considers educational choices as
influenced by macroeconomic and education variables. The empirical
investigation is based on regression analysis as inspired by the above model.
Time series analysis is also used for Arab countries. The results indicate
that education in the groups of countries analyzed is generally driven by
unemployment, economic growth, and the schooling results. Arab countries do
show that vocational educational accounts for the schooling performance, only.
Comparisons with other groups indicate that Arab countries need to strengthen
the links between general and professional education as this allows for a more
balanced educational and employment systems, not accounting only for the
performance of general education. |
