Abstract

Depuis les années 60, la rentabilité du système éducatif suscite un intérêt croissant auprès des décideurs lorsqu'il s'agit de faire un choix d'investissement. Toutefois, la plupart des travaux consacrés à cette problématique portent sur les rendements internes de l'éducation. Cette étude se propose de mesurer la rentabilité externe de l'investissement relativement important, consenti dans l'éducation par les ménages (rendement privé) et la collectivité (rendement social). Il est reconnu que l'État et les ménages sénégalais consacrent d'importantes ressources à l'éducation sans avoir cependant une idée précise du rendement de leur investissement. Cette étude devrait combler cette lacune. La méthode utilisée est celle du taux de rendement interne appliquée aux données de l'Enquête Sénégalaise Auprès des Ménages (ESAM) de 1995. Les revenus nets bruts proviennent de ceux de l'année 1995. L'étude montre qu'au Sénégal l'éducation est en général un secteur d'investissement rentable où le rendement privé est plus élevé que le rendement social. De plus, une analyse par sous-secteur fait ressortir que l'investissement social dans le secondaire et le supérieur n'est pas rentable contrairement à l'enseignement primaire et moyen. Enfin, le chômage et le redoublement ont un impact négatif sur les rentabilités sociale et privée.
