The attainment of education in a population is widely recognized as an important factor in socio-economic development. Compulsory education has therefore been a major policy goal in virtually all countries across the world. Formal schooling equips people with the skills required by a modern labour market and is directly related to employment and wages. It also contributes to better health and well-being among a population. Data on education are important for designing education policies and plans. As fertility rates are high in Arab countries, the number of pupils increases annually, which necessitates an increase in both human and financial resources for education.
