Distribution of Primary School Enrollments in Eastern Africa

摘要

This paper examines the distribution of primary school enrollments within and among the countries of the Eastern Africa Region. In a first phase, the study makes inter-country comparisons that indicate which countries and which areas in the Region lag in terms of educational opportunities. Thereafter, the focus of the paper shifts from the Region as a whole to the individual countries. Finally, the paper attempts to determine how and where to allocate educational investments in order to reduce both inter-country and intra-country inequities. (Copyright (c) 1982 The World Bank.)
