Download or read book Financing of higher education in Latin America written by George Psacharopoulos and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although education in Latin America is a highly profitable investment, the present financial crisis puts constraints on the amount of resources available for investment in the sector. Also, resources already devoted to education may not be used as efficiently as they could be, and they may be inequitably distributed among different groups in the population. This paper presents a number of facts and issues related to the financing of education in Latin America and discusses some possible solutions. It is argued that cost-recovery in higher education, combined with the increased availability of educational credit and decentralization through private schools, may be the best policy package for addressing many "crisis" issues in education. Such a package would lead to a higher level of efficiency, in the sense that existing resources devoted to education will be better utilized. It will also attract more resources to a sector in which investments exhibit a high social profitability. Beyond the efficiency effect, charging for higher education would paradoxically be socially more equitable relative to the present situation of indiscriminate subsidies.

This book was released on with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public spending on tertiary education in Mexico is strongly regressive, benefiting mainly the nonpoor in urban areas. To give the poor a chance at higher education, student loan programs or means-tested financial aid and scholarship programs (though rarely devoid of subsidy) are preferable to free education services, because loan and aid programs target the students who suffer from the financial market's failure to provide long-term loans for higher education.
