This paper attaches particular attention to the unequal dimension of education in Africa using several indicators. To account for the dynamics of the reduction of inequalities, we estimated the validity of the Kuznets curve of education. The results suggest that the shape of the Kuznets curve depends on the measure used to approximate inequality. Indeed, the assumption of the Kuznets curve is checked if the standard deviation of schooling is used. For its part, the Gini index maintains a significant negative relationship with the average number of years of study. The results also applies to all African countries and for each group of countries with a significant advance in reducing inequalities initiated by English speaking countries.
