Abstract
The paper develops a public education scheme that takes uncertainty aspects of private educational investments explicitly into account. A case is made for tuition fees, which depend on expected return on investments in education. The consideration of uncertainty provides a neglected link between educational choice, resource endowment and productivity growth, that may serve to redefine the public role of education financing.
