Abstract

The most important avenues emphasized in this chapter relate to the progress in school attainment as an important indicator of the knowledge position of a country. The descriptive statistical analyses besides other assessments are devoted to show the pertinence and the importance of education attainment. Barro and Lee 1950-2010 data are used in this chapter. The opportunities lost with the low level of school attainment are introduced and discussed. The relatively slow speed of recovery in schooling is already expressed by the lowest knowledge performances achieved between the economies of North Africa, Sudan, Yemen, and the Gulf countries. In addition, the description has shown a higher attainment in schooling of EEE economies in comparison to Arab countries.
