Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between education quality and sustainable human development in Egypt during the period from 1996 to 2019. The study relied on a regression using ordinary least squares using bootstrap. A variable that expresses sustainable human development has been built by measuring the interaction between human development index and adjusted net savings by adding particulate emissions damages as a percentage of gross national income. The study concluded that there is weak positive relationship between the per capita gross national income and sustainable human development. As for the quality of education, expressed as the average years of schooling, it was inversely related to sustainable human development. Therefore, the study confirms that the decisive factor in achieving human development in Egypt during the study period was the average per capita income, not the quality of education.
