  ABSTRACT: Togo is not exempt from migration phenomenon in the last few years, as the statistics show that it experiences a galloping migratory flow. This trend in migratory flow leads us to question the possible repercussions on the daily lives of households. This article analyses the effect of migrants’ remittances on the education of recipient households with econometric analysis using a binary logit model with instrumental variable. The estimations results show that remittances from migrants as well as income increase the level of education of recipients in countries. The results have also made it possible to note that access to electricity significantly improves the level of education of the household’s members. Suggestions are made to education decision-makers in the perspective of strengthening the education system in Togo and facilitating the procedures of remittances to Togo.
