Abstract
This paper discusses the effect of inequality of opportunity in education. After describing literature and the Moroccan education background, we estimate the effect of inequality of opportunity on education. Using the data from the National Survey on the levels of Living of Households 2006/07, we estimate the effect of 8 circumstance variables on the level of education and makes an inequality of opportunity index using Paes de Barros et al.(2007) and Chavez-Juarez, Florian, et Isidro Soloaga (2015) methods. Then we decompose this index using Shapley decomposition. Our result shows a significant part of inequality in education access is due to inequality of opportunity and the most important source of this inequality of opportunity is area of residence.
