The impact of public expenditure on the quantity and quality of education in Kuwait

Abstract EN

This study investigates the relationship between education spending and educational performance.

It examines the impact of education spending on the quantity and quality of education in Kuwait.

The yearly data sample covers the period between 1979 and 2014.

The paper tests whether higher government spending on education in Kuwait can lead to improved educational performance over the long term.

The estimated model is tested using the Johansen co-integration technique to determine the long-term relationship.

The findings show that increasing Kuwaiti government spending on education does not improve the quality of education but instead leads only to an increase in its quantity.
