Educational Policy in Developing Countries:the case of Ghana and informal communities "Many parents do not only see the costs of schooling and the loss of labour, they also doubt the achieved qualifications of pupils. These formal education qualifications seem to have less value on the informal labour market. ‘Not only is a diploma increasingly difficult to obtain, but it is no longer a sure way of getting a job’ (Bonnet, 1993, p. 377). Bonnet reports further that many people with university degrees end up in informal jobs and that this sends out signals that education is a ‘waste of time’ (Bonnet, 1993, p. 378). Gootaert and Kanbur argue that many parents find it more sensible for children to quit school and to work for their own and their relatives’ survival (Gootaert & Kanbur, 1995, p. 193)." wwwords.co.uk/pdf/validate.asp?j=pfie&vol=11&issue=1&year=2013&article=7_Nordensvard_PFIE_11_1_web
