While the positive relationship between the educational attainments of farm operators and farm productivity has long been established on both theoretical and empirical grounds, the relative effectiveness of primary and secondary education in raising farm productivity, in a country like Pakistan, is still an open question. The present study uses the Cobb-Douglas production function framework for analysing the ‘worker-effect’ of different levels of formal education by introducing the education of farmers as an explicit input into the production function. I t has been argued that secondary level of education by broadening the information base of farmers, and thus inducing the greater use of yield-raising inputs, raises farm productivity more than does primary education.
