Understanding Educational Financing

Release Date: 2001-01-01
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.

Student Financing of Higher Education
The financing of higher education is undergoing great change in many countries around the world. In recent years many countries are moving from a system where the costs of funding higher education are shouldered primarily by taxpayers, through government subsidies, to one where students pay a larger share of the costs. There are a number of factors driving these trends, including: A push for massification of higher education, in the recognition that additional revenue streams are required above and beyond those funds available from governments in order to achieve higher participation rates Macroeconomic factors, which lead to constraints on overall government revenues Political factors, which manifest in demands for funding of over services, thus restricting the funding available for higher (tertiary) education A concern that the returns to higher education accrue primarily to the individual, rather than to society, and thus students should bear more of the burden of paying for it This volume will help to contribute to an understanding of how these trends occur in various countries and regions around the world, and the impact they have on higher education institutions, students, and society as a whole. With contributions for the UK, USA, South Africa and China this vital new book gives a truly global picture of the rapidly changing situation
