Abstract:
This study aims to assess the impact of public spending on education by level of study on economic growth in Cameroon. Although public spending on education is qualitatively and quantitatively efficient, the effect of their distribution by level of education on growth rate in Cameroon’s economy has been tested econometrically. The results show a mixed impact of this distribution on economic growth. While all levels of education have a positive effect on economic growth, public spending on primary, secondary and higher education is found to have differentiated effects, negative for primary education and positive for secondary and higher education. These results plead in favor of a deep readjustment of the distribution structure of public education spending in Cameroon. It is essential to allocate more public resources for primary education and to maintain the level of public spending on education in secondary and higher education.
