Recent literature about economic growth has assigned special emphasis to human capital formation in the economic growth of nations. This paper focuses on human capital quality as a determinant of economic growth. The analysis stresses the distinction between the quantity and the quality of education. It is a cross section and a panel data study for a group of international countries. The period of the empirical study is 1960-2000 and countries are classified taking into account differences in their income per capita levels.
