This first chapter is concerned not with philosophical questions about the appropriate nature or extent of these ‘rights’. In countries where primary and junior secondary schooling is not yet universal, private returns to education are highest at primary level and tend to decline at secondary and higher levels. Where girls have less access to schooling than boys, this pattern of returns implies that closing the gender gap in school enrolments will provide higher returns than would expansion policies that left the existing gender gap unchanged.
