DescriptionSchool enrollment rate is considered an important measure of a country’s educational system. Therefore, understanding what determines the fluctuation of these rates is an important objective in creating a strategy to maintain these rates high. This study examines the relationships between oil production and school enrollment rates of all educational levels. Taking into account different factors that might cause these relationships to be stronger or weaker. These factors are the real GDP, GDP per capita, the political system a country uses, and the level of control of corruption a country implements. Multiple linear regression analyses have been conducted to provide insight on the quantitative associations between the economic factors that might contribute to school enrollment rates and the strength of these associations. These factors and relationships are combined to explain the changes in school enrollment rates in different countries and show how oil production might or might not have an important role in school enrollment rates. The analyses indicates that oil production alone does not have a strong correlation to school enrollment rates. However, when linked with the other economic factors, the analyses show a strong correlation with some, and a weak correlation with others. Overall, we found that real GDP is the most effective factor on school enrollment in general, regardless of the source of revenue it came from. And only when combined with a more democratic political system and high levels of control of corruption.
