Book Synopsis Financing Education in Developing Countries by : George Psacharopoulos
Download or read book Financing Education in Developing Countries written by George Psacharopoulos and published by Washington, D.C. : World Bank. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is an economically and socially productive investment. Therefore, the educational systems in developing countries must continue to improve in quality, in efficiency, and in equality of opportunity if they are to continue serving as important instruments for improving the national economy. Yet, budgetary austerity tightens the public purse-strings, ever increasing school-age populations stretch these dwindling resources, and other social and economic factors present compelling competition for the same funds. The heavy subsidization of education implicit in traditional policy--especially of higher education at the expense of primary schooling--with its concomitant economic inefficiencies and inequities is no longer appropriate. Supported by empirical evidence, this book examines the potential effects of policy alternatives in several areas of education financing and management: (1) The contribution of private financing and selective user changes, especially in higher education, and reallocation of public spending; (2) Selective student loan and scholarship programs in higher education; and (3) Decentralization and role of private and community schools. Implementation of these policies may be difficult because of conflicts with traditional educational and political philosophies, and established administrative institutions. Included are statistical tables, case studies, instances of reform, and a bibliography. (KWL)

Book Synopsis Financing Quality Education for All by : Kristof De Witte
Download or read book Financing Quality Education for All written by Kristof De Witte and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funding, efficiency, and equity in education In OECD countries the average expenditure on primary and secondary education institutions is about 3.5% of GDP. The investment in education has large implications for economic development and the proper functioning of democratic institutions, as well as overall well-being. However, clear consensus and guidance on which system leads to the best educational outcomes is lacking. This volume describes the resource allocation for compulsory and special needs education for a selection of well-performing countries and regions on PISA tests. By studying the funding systems in well-performing countries and regions the authors identify the elements in the respective funding systems that are associated with best outcomes and have the ideal characteristics to pursue particular goals of education systems such as equity and efficiency. The funding methods of primary and secondary education as well as special needs education are covered. Ebook available in Open Access. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

Book Synopsis Understanding Educational Financing by : Jennifer Mohammed
Download or read book Understanding Educational Financing written by Jennifer Mohammed and published by Commonwealth Secretarial. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These modules on educational financing evolved from a series of seminars held in the small states of the Caribbean and the Pacific. The project was set up to improve the financial understanding and budgetary skills of key educational personnel and to help bridge the gap between finance and education ministries. With greater decentralisation a common development in most countries, responsibility for planning and administering education has shifted from central ministries to district offices and, in some cases, to educational level. This autonomy underscores the challenges for other key educational personnel to acquire the skills to improve the internal efficiency of education systems and the quality of schools in a decentralised system.This publication provides overviews of the issues raised, detailed content relevant to those issues, case studies, training material and summaries. These modules should be a useful source of information for ministries, schools, community personnel and researchers and will promote a greater understanding of the scope and relevance of educational financing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the financing of formal primary and secondary education in developing nations. The study does not consider the areas of pre-primary, post-secondary, or nonformal education. Financing includes not only monetary inputs to education, but also material, labor, expertise, and land. The study examines the volume, nature, and mechanics of community financing in a range of settings. Policy issues facing governments and those who work with them are presented. Instruments for incentives, guidance, and control of community activities are considered. Specific strategies from different countries are presented and evaluated, along with the importance of monitoring and evaluation. The paper concludes by summarizing the lessons in the context of debate about centralization and decentralization. Sections of the book include: (1) "Communities and Their Characteristics"; (2) "Scale, Motivation, and Nature of Community Financing"; (3) "Mechanics of Community Financing"; (4) "Policy Issues Confronting Governments"; (5) "Government Incentives, Guidance, and Controls"; (6) "Challenges and Risks"; (7) "Monitoring and Evaluation"; and (8) Conclusion.

Book Synopsis Decentralization of Education by : Harry Anthony Patrinos
Download or read book Decentralization of Education written by Harry Anthony Patrinos and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central governments' supply-side expansions of schooling have not equally benefited all members of society, especially girls, indigenous peoples, tribal groups, disadvantaged minorities, and the poor. Public spending on education is often inefficient, higher education is subsidized at primary education's expense, and costs are becoming insupportable. To tackle such issues, some governments are exploring demand-side financing, whereby public funds are given directly to individuals or institutions on the basis of expressed demand. Use of decentralized, demand-side financing mechanisms (like vouchers and stipends) is common in member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. After defining several mechanisms, this booklet provides some country examples aiming to increase school enrollment: stipends in Bangladesh, community financing in Chad, targeted bursaries in China and Mexico, voucher schemes in Colombia, assistance to private schools serving poor children in the Dominican Republic and Pakistan, student loans in Jamaica, and community grants in Pakistan. Program success depends on beneficiaries' involvement and support, parents' active participation, private-sector schools' involvement, partnerships with commercial enterprises, flexibility, capacity building, cultural relevance, equity principles, and transparent fund transfer formulas. Contains 47 references. (MLH)
Book Synopsis The Financing of Education in Developing Countries by : Caroline Flammer
Download or read book The Financing of Education in Developing Countries written by Caroline Flammer and published by Sudwestdeutscher Verlag Fur Hochschulschriften AG. This book was released on 2009 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profound problem of many developing countries is that access to education as well as legal enforceability of contracts are both limited. The author, Caroline Flammer, addresses both issues. She introduces two financing schemes for the funding of early as well as higher education and designs contracts which are self-enforcing. These contracts promise to improve access to education without discriminating against children from underprivileged backgrounds. The first model studies the problem of financing a child's primary education when the parent is faced with credit constraints and contracting with minors is not possible. The second model uses human capital contracts for the financing of higher education in developing countries. In both models, the self-enforcement of contracts is guaranteed by creating an interlinkage between the market for education financing and the market for microcredits. The author also analyzes the impact of increased mobility and anonymity in developing societies on the optimal contract designs.
