Abstract AR
تركز هذه الدراسة على تأثيرات سوق العمل بالنسبة للتعليم المهني و الفني في منطقة الشرق الأوسط و شمال إفريقيا و ذلك بتحليل حالتي مصر و المغرب.
نحاول تقييم صلاحية هذه الأنظمة المهنية من خلال النظر إلى محددات خيار التعليم المدرسي و تأثير التمييز بين التعليم المهني و التعليم العام من حيث عائدات التعليم و عدم المساواة و الفروق بين الأجور.
و بالاعتماد على نتائج هذا التحليل, فإننا نجمل التحديات الرئيسية التي تواجه صانعي السياسات كما يلي : جعل الأنظمة التعليمية التي تفتقر إلى الكفاءة أكثر فعالية و معالجة الطبقية الاجتماعية التي أكدها خيار التعليم المدرسي و ذلك بالاستعانة بالتجارب الناجعة التي طبقت في دول جنوب شرق أسيا.
Abstract EN
Our study focuses on the labor market implications of vocational and technical education in the MENA region, analyzing the case of Egypt and Morocco.
We try to assess the validity of those vocational systems by looking at the determinants of schooling choice and the effect of segregation between vocational and general education in rate of returns to education, wage differentials and wage inequality.
Drawing conclusions from our analysis, we outline the main challenges faced by policy makers, namely the streamlining of inefficient education systems and the redressing of social stratification furthered by schooling choice based on the successful experiences of South-East Asian economies.
