Abstract

Pada lazimnya, orang yang mempunyai tahap pendidikan yang lebih tinggi menerima upahan yang lebih tinggi. Perkara ini adalah selaras dengan Tiori Modal Insan yang menyatakan upahan yang lebih diterima kerana peningkatan produktiviti akibat daripada lebihan modal insan yang terbentuk melalui pendidikan. Ini menjadikan pendidikan sebagai suatu item pelaburan. Sesungguhnya, jika pendidikan merupakan suatu item pelaburan, maka ahli-ahli ekonomi dan para pendidik sudah tentu ingin mengetahui akan tahap keberuntungan pelaburan ini. Usually, people with higher levels of education receive higher levels of earnings. This conforms to the Human Capital Theory which postulates that higher levels of earnings are earned because of higher productivity resulting from more human capital formed through more education. This makes education an investment item. If indeed education is an investment item, then economists and educationists would surely like to know its profitability as an investment.
