Abstract
While education stocks (measured as
the number of years of schooling attained per person over
age 15) have risen significantly in all regions, they have
risen the fastest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
region. This note documents this remarkable regional
achievement. This brief shows that all 15 MENA countries for
which we have comparable data increased their education
stocks over time. As well as trends in population weighted
averages for education stock across regions.
