这项研究利用1993/94年的住户调查数据来估计上学的回报率以及上学的间接和直接费用。按照区域标准，小学和中学的回报率都很低，费用占人口中最低五分之一的收入的一部分，虽然小学负担得起，但中学的费用很高。间接成本或机会成本比直接自付成本大得多。坦桑尼亚独特的低中学入学率可以用这些因素来解释，也可以用供应限制来解释。建造更多的中学可能不会显著改变这种情况。调整费用和补贴会有所帮助，但最终必须改善受过教育的工人的劳动力市场。
The study utilizes household survey data from 1993/94 to estimate the rate of return to schooling and the indirect as well as the direct costs of schooling. Rates of return at both primary and secondary levels are found to be low by regional standards and costs as a fraction of incomes for the lowest fifth of the population, while affordable for primary school, are very high for secondary school. Indirect, or opportunity, costs are much larger than direct, out-of-pocket, costs. Tanzania's uniquely low secondary enrollment rates can be explained by these factors as much as by supply constraints. Building more secondary schools may not significantly change the situation. Adjusting fees and subsidies would help, but in the end there has to be an improvement in the labor market for educated workers.
