Mei-Ling from Singapore was preparing to go to South Africa for
3 months as an exchange student. She needed to change some
Singapore dollars (SGD) into South African rand (ZAR).
Question: Mei-Ling found out that the exchange rate between
Singapore dollars and South African rand was:
1 SGD = 4.2 ZAR
Mei-Ling changed 3000 Singapore dollars into South African
rand at this exchange rate.
How much money in South African rand did Mei-Ling get?

students have to draw on skills from the
reproduction competency cluster.
Figure 1 shows changing levels of Lake Chad, in Saharan North Africa. Lake
Chad disappeared completely in about 20,000BC, during the last Ice Age. In
about 11,000 BC it reappeared. Today, its level is about the same as it was in
AD 1000.

1212 Methods
Some methodological considerations
to estimate the impact of improved basic skills
on long-term economic growth
• The projections assume that higher educational
achievement allows a country to keep on
growing at a higher rate in the long run
– Education increases the innovative capacity of the economy
through developing new ideas and new technologies
– A given level of education can lead to a continuing stream of
new ideas, thus making it possible for education to affect
growth even when no new education is added to the
economy .
Underlying growth model
• An aggregate production function where the
output of the macro economy is a direct
function of capital and labour
– The human capital component of growth comes through
accumulation of more education that implies the economy
moves from one steady state level to another; once at the
new level, education exerts no further influence on
growth .
Alternative growth models
• Improvements will occur steadily
– from today’s performance up to reaching
the post-2015 goals in 2030
• It will take another 40 years until the more
skilled workers replace the existing workforce
• The growth rate is calculated each year into the
future based on the average skill of workers
• Future gains in GDP are discounted to the
present with a 3% discount rate
– (so that the projections are directly comparable
to current levels of GDP).
Assumptions
• Annual improvement by 1.67 PISA points per
year (=25 points by 2030) and full enrolment
• Present value of added GDP would be 340% of
the country’s current GDP over the next 80
years (or on average 7.3% higher GDP each year)
• By 2095, GDP would be 30% higher than with
current skill levels
– This is equivalent to an annual growth rate that is 0.5
percentage points higher than at current skill levels.

19 Skills and growth
• Couldn’t higher growth cause higher achievement?
– Correlation between education spending and student performance is
weak, so it is unlikely that the relationship comes from growth
induced resources lifting student achievement
– For a subset of countries, the period of testing has been separated
from the subsequent period of observed economic impacts, but the
impact was even bigger
• Couldn’t other factors besides cognitive skills be
responsible for countries’ growth?
– In an extensive investigation of alternative model specifications,
different measures of cognitive skills, various groupings of countries
(including some that eliminate regional differences), and specific
subperiods of economic growth have been employed but the results
show high consistency in the alternative estimates, in both
quantitative impacts and statistical significance
– Neither do measures of geographical location, political stability,
capital stock and population growth significantly affect the estimated
impact of cognitive skills
20 Causality in brief
• How do we know international differences in test
scores reflect school policies and not things like
health and nutrition differences in the
population or cultural differences?
– This concern has been addressed by focusing attention just on
the variations in achievement that arise directly from
institutional characteristics of each country’s school system
(exit examinations, autonomy, relative teacher salaries and
private schooling). When the analysis is limited in this way, the
estimation of the growth relationship yields essentially the
same results
• Do changes in test scores over time relate to
changes in growth rates?
– For 12 OECD countries, the magnitude of trends in education
performance can be related to the magnitude of trends in
growth rates over time. This investigation provides more
evidence of the causal influence of cognitive skills.
21 Causality in brief
• What if achievement is simply a reflection of other
aspects of the economy and not the driving force in
growth?
– One way to test this is to consider the implications of differences in
measured skills within a single economy. This was done by comparing
immigrants to the United states who have been educated in their
home countries with immigrants educated just in the United states.
– This comparison finds that the cognitive skills seen in the immigrant’s
home country lead to higher incomes, but only if the immigrant was in
fact educated in the home country. Immigrants from the same home
country who are schooled in the United states see no economic return
to home-country test scores – a finding that pinpoints the value of
better schools

3333 Excellence and equity
Excellence and equity are compatible
goals in the post-2015 agenda
• Basic skills for all or cultivating top achievers?
– The impact of the basic-skills share does not vary
significantly with the initial level of development
– The impact of the top-performing share is significantly
larger in countries that have more scope to catch up to the
most productive countries (the process of economic
convergence is accelerated in countries with larger shares
of high-performing students).

3838 Skills and inclusive growth
Achieving basic skills would make
economic growth more inclusive
• Achieving universal basic skills will make economic
growth more inclusive
– The increase in average earnings from attaining universal basic skills amounts
to some 4.2% across the 28 countries with universal enrolment in secondary
schools.
– This increase is accompanied by a 5.2% average reduction in the achievement-
induced part of the standard deviation of earnings
• Universal basic skills will also expand the size of the
economy, and thus differs from simple tax and
redistribution schemes that might change income
distribution but would not add to societal output
– Policies to improve knowledge capital will also promote inclusion and a more
equitable income distribution
Inclusive growth

  • 12. 1212 Methods Some methodological considerations to estimate the impact of improved basic skills on long-term economic growth
  • 13. • The projections assume that higher educational achievement allows a country to keep on growing at a higher rate in the long run – Education increases the innovative capacity of the economy through developing new ideas and new technologies – A given level of education can lead to a continuing stream of new ideas, thus making it possible for education to affect growth even when no new education is added to the economy . Underlying growth model
  • 14. • An aggregate production function where the output of the macro economy is a direct function of capital and labour – The human capital component of growth comes through accumulation of more education that implies the economy moves from one steady state level to another; once at the new level, education exerts no further influence on growth . Alternative growth models
  • 15. • Improvements will occur steadily – from today’s performance up to reaching the post-2015 goals in 2030 • It will take another 40 years until the more skilled workers replace the existing workforce • The growth rate is calculated each year into the future based on the average skill of workers • Future gains in GDP are discounted to the present with a 3% discount rate – (so that the projections are directly comparable to current levels of GDP). Assumptions
  • 16. • Annual improvement by 1.67 PISA points per year (=25 points by 2030) and full enrolment • Present value of added GDP would be 340% of the country’s current GDP over the next 80 years (or on average 7.3% higher GDP each year) • By 2095, GDP would be 30% higher than with current skill levels – This is equivalent to an annual growth rate that is 0.5 percentage points higher than at current skill levels. 18 An example Country Improvement/y Montenegro 1.7 Chile 1.9 Serbia 2.2 Poland 2.6 Italy 2.7 Portugal 2.8 Mexico 3.1 Tunisia 3.1 Turkey 3.2 Dubai (UAE) 3.7 Singapore 3.8 Brazil 4.1 Bulgaria 4.2 Shanghai-China 4.2 Israel 4.2 Romania 4.9 Albania 5.6 U.A.E. * 5.9 Malaysia 8.1 Kazakhstan 9 Qatar 9.2
  • 17. 19 Skills and growth
  • 18. • Couldn’t higher growth cause higher achievement? – Correlation between education spending and student performance is weak, so it is unlikely that the relationship comes from growth induced resources lifting student achievement – For a subset of countries, the period of testing has been separated from the subsequent period of observed economic impacts, but the impact was even bigger • Couldn’t other factors besides cognitive skills be responsible for countries’ growth? – In an extensive investigation of alternative model specifications, different measures of cognitive skills, various groupings of countries (including some that eliminate regional differences), and specific subperiods of economic growth have been employed but the results show high consistency in the alternative estimates, in both quantitative impacts and statistical significance – Neither do measures of geographical location, political stability, capital stock and population growth significantly affect the estimated impact of cognitive skills 20 Causality in brief
  • 19. • How do we know international differences in test scores reflect school policies and not things like health and nutrition differences in the population or cultural differences? – This concern has been addressed by focusing attention just on the variations in achievement that arise directly from institutional characteristics of each country’s school system (exit examinations, autonomy, relative teacher salaries and private schooling). When the analysis is limited in this way, the estimation of the growth relationship yields essentially the same results • Do changes in test scores over time relate to changes in growth rates? – For 12 OECD countries, the magnitude of trends in education performance can be related to the magnitude of trends in growth rates over time. This investigation provides more evidence of the causal influence of cognitive skills. 21 Causality in brief
  • 20. • What if achievement is simply a reflection of other aspects of the economy and not the driving force in growth? – One way to test this is to consider the implications of differences in measured skills within a single economy. This was done by comparing immigrants to the United states who have been educated in their home countries with immigrants educated just in the United states. – This comparison finds that the cognitive skills seen in the immigrant’s home country lead to higher incomes, but only if the immigrant was in fact educated in the home country. Immigrants from the same home country who are schooled in the United states see no economic return to home-country test scores – a finding that pinpoints the value of better schools 22 Causality in brief
  • 21. 2323 The high cost of low educational performance What if the World delivered on the post-2015 development goals? The economic value of getting every 15-year-old to complete at least PISA Level 1
  • 22. The economic value of improvement 0% 100% 200% 300% 400% 500% 600% 700% 800% 900% 1000% 1100% 1200% 1300% 1400% Baseline skills Full enrolment without increase in quality Baseline skills and full enrolment Lower middle income countries Upper middle income countries High income non-OECD High income OECD Value of improvement in terms of current GDP over working life of today’s 15-year-olds The increase in GDP among high income countries would still exceed total current spending on schooling

  • 37. • Achieving universal basic skills will make economic growth more inclusive – The increase in average earnings from attaining universal basic skills amounts to some 4.2% across the 28 countries with universal enrolment in secondary schools. – This increase is accompanied by a 5.2% average reduction in the achievement- induced part of the standard deviation of earnings • Universal basic skills will also expand the size of the economy, and thus differs from simple tax and redistribution schemes that might change income distribution but would not add to societal output – Policies to improve knowledge capital will also promote inclusion and a more equitable income distribution Inclusive growth
