Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public expenditure reviews are one of the World Bank's core diagnostic tools for informing various stakeholders about the state of education financing in a country. Such reviews assess the efficiency, effectiveness, and equity of expenditures on education and their adequacy and sustainability relative to the country's educational goals. All education systems rely on financing to function. Education finance systems pay for the inputs required to implement education policies, such as teachers, school buildings, and learning materials. Governments are under increasing pressure to use education resources efficiently, but often lack guidance on the optimal ways to invest and manage their school finance systems. Meeting the World Bank's twin goals of poverty reduction and shared prosperity in the education sector implies the need to use country and donor resources effectively, efficiently, and equitably. A sound Public expenditure review (PER) assesses how resources are used relative to these goals. This PER is arranged as follows: (i) Part one has the Checklist for education per steps; (ii) Part two provides Checklist for an education per analysis; and (iii) Part three concludes with examples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Education Public Expenditure Review (PER) analyzes public expenditures and outcomes since 2004. Its purpose is to help the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) set priorities; and make decisions on resource allocation, utilization, efficiencies, and management, and in achieving learning goals against a backdrop of serious economic and political challenges. The influx of refugees since 2011 from the Syria Crisis has created new issues for MEHE, which compound pre-conflict challenges in the education sector. The PER uses multiple sources including administrative and household-level micro-survey data, as well as results of national and international assessments among others (see annex 1 for full sources and description). It tackles the composition of and trends in government spending and resulting impact on education inputs and outcomes, as well as internal and external efficiencies. The equity dimension-in terms of geographic location, household socioeconomic status, and gender-is also explored in detail. It evaluates current processes in budget planning and execution. Finally, the PER makes a series of policy recommendations for the government's consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sufficient number of education public expenditure reviews, quantitative service delivery surveys, and public expenditure tracking surveys had recently been completed for East and South African countries toexplore several questions. i) What topics did the PERs address?; ii) Could a comparative, regional database be created for the variables reviewed? iii) Were the data analyses appropriate, given the issues identified and the quality of the data?; iv) What did these analyses find?; v) Which were especially strong PERs and why?; vi) What did the assessment of these PERs imply about standards for good PERs that can guide practitioners?; vii) Were the findings of PERs used in policy dialogue with Governments?; viii) Are the Bank's taskteams using PER findings to shape the preparation of education projects? The conceptual framework for assessing the content coverage and analytic quality of PERs, QSDS, and PETS was based on the theoretical frameworks that underlie. The sample of PERs, PETS, and QSDS evaluated consisted of those recently completed forthe education sectors of Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Seychelles, Sudan, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. All were published between 2013 and 2016. Methods were developed to assess two basic questions: the document's content coverageand the quality of its data analysis. The methods used by the MFM and GGP PER stocktakingteam provided some guidance. Content analysis of each document was used to assess its content coverage, with thecontent analysis coding sheet being developed inductively from an analysis of a smallsample of PERs and modified as the coding proceeded. The final sheet had 11 domains, such as allocative and technical efficiency or equity of financing. PERs addressed multiple aspects of most domains, resulting in a total of 54 variables. Since the coding sheets were developed inductively, they could not show which domains were not covered by any ofthe PERs for any of the countries. The intent was to map the topics that PERs actually covered in order to determine two things: i) Whether topics fundamental to a PER--e.g., the equity of financing--were omitted or under-addressed; ii) Whether the PER's choices explicitly signaled an understanding ofthe theoretical context for PERs; The content coverage of the documents was evaluated in five ways: (i) Did the PERsassess all or only alimited set ofsub-sectors?; (ii) Did PERs all measure any core variables in the same way so that acomparative database couldbe created? (iii) What was the depth of coverage by country? This reveals the comprehensiveness and depth of coverage by country; (iv) What was the depth of coverage by domain? This reveals comprehensive versus skimpy coverage by domain; (v) What variables are not assessed or are underassessed? Chapters second and third present the main findings of the review of the East/South Africa PERs. Chapter second assesses coverage commonality, depth, omitted variables, and under-covered variables. Chapter third assesses data sources, data quality, the statistical methods used by the PERs, and the quality of their analyses. Chapter fourth focuses on the lessons learned from this review for improving the quality of education PERs. Chapter fifth highlights challenges that PER teams often face. Chapter sixth concludes with recommendations.

Download or read book Public Expenditure Review of the Education Sector in Jamaica written by World Bank and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this public expenditure review (PER) is to analyze the adequacy, efficiency, and equity of public spending on education in Jamaica. These three aspects will be compared to national and international standards, in line with Jamaica's educational challenges and goals. To this end, Caribbean countries will serve as regional peers; select top performing education systems (Finland and Estonia) will serve as aspirational comparators; and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries, which represents a composite of high-income country systems, will serve as an international comparator. This report uses data from the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service (MOFPS), the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Information (MOEYI), the Statistical Institute of Jamaica, and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). The analysis focuses on the last two years (2018 - 2019), for which spending data was provided. Longer trend analysis was impeded due to lack of additional years of data, although analysis was corroborated by other sources where possible. The PER incorporates results from national and regional assessments to provide information on education system performance. However, as Jamaica has not recently participated in any internationally benchmarked learning assessments, the PER can not include a deeper evaluation of the quality of education from an international perspective.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sound education sector is fundamental for the economic, social, and political transformation of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The DRC has achieved significant progress in its education sector over the last decade, demonstrating strong resilience following a particularly violent period in its history. The DRC's development trajectory will depend on its ability to reap the benefits of it resource-rich territory, which will require large investments in human capital to transition to an economy based on improved productivity, innovation, and technology. The DRC's population has a very large youth cohort and reaping the benefits of the demographic dividend requires ensuring that sufficient funding is allocated to address priority issues at all levels of education. The three tenets of education investments can be summarized as follows: invest early, invest smartly, and invest for all. This report is organized into following sections: section one gives introduction, section two discusses the country context in terms of demographic dividends and available fiscal space for increasing social sector demand. Section three provides an overview of the education sector context including a chronological order of education sector policies, goals, priorities, and structure. Section four analyzes key indicators of education sector performance. Section five analyzes education sector financing including budget framework and process, the key actors, sources of funding, trends of public expenditure, budget allocation and execution, equity, affordability, and unit cost analyses. Section six examines education sector management issues focusing on efficiency and effectiveness of resources utilization. Section seven presents summary of main findings and policy recommendations. The annex section is divided into four segments including a methodological note, supporting tables, figures, and boxes for the sections. ["The Public Expenditure Review (PER) of the Education Sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo" was prepared by a World Bank Group team consisting of Kebede Feda, Tanya Savrimootoo, Élis ̌Wendlassida Miningou, and Sabiti Kalindula.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This education sector public expenditure review (PER) aims to respond to policy questions on the mind of the Jordanian Ministry of Education (MOE) using data readily available to the Ministry as well as common analytical techniques. Despite impressive achievements in terms of access to education, policymakers in Jordan are keenly aware of the relatively low student learning outcomes in the country. This PER uses available MOE Education Management Information System (EMIS) and Ministry of Finance (MOF) budget data, in addition to other readily available sources of data, to shed light on the performance of the Jordanian education system and address policymakers' concerns. The EMIS currently includes data by school on numbers of teachers and students; physical attributes such as land area, buildings, and classrooms; in addition to the school's geographic location, type, and supervising authority. The present EMIS therefore allows for relatively detailed analysis of the Jordanian schooling system, as will be shown in this report. However, the EMIS also entails shortcomings, as it does not allow for calculation of repetition and drop-out rates, for example, nor does it include any school financial data. The present report begins by describing the achievements as well as shortcomings of Jordan's education system (Section two); Section three describes the current education learning environment, including some detail on the basic system attributes of school size, class size, and student-teacher ratio; Section four then turns to public education spending and its allocation across capital and recurrent spending, as well as the costs associated with the Syrian crisis; Section five hones in on teacher compensation in particular, given its large share in spending; and Section six provides resulting recommendations and international good practice for policymakers' consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Public Expenditure Review (PER) provides an integrated perspective on Iraq’s need to provide better public service delivery, while maintaining macroeconomic stability and fiscal discipline. The achievement of these objectives unfolds within a challenging context of revenue volatility, the need to diversify the economy, weak accountability mechanisms, and residual conflict. Reflecting these challenges, key socio-economic developmental indicators are stalled or even declining despite rapid growth in public spending. Indeed, the review shows that growth in spending has not been matched by absorptive capacity, let alone improved outcomes. The difficult task of constructing the fiscal institutions to embed the practices of good economic management remains a work-in-progress. The PER is one component of World Bank assistance to the government to improve public expenditure policy and management. The challenge for the Iraqi authorities in the years ahead will be to turn oil revenues into sustained welfare improvements. Macroeconomic stability alone is not enough to address social and economic development issues and to avoid a resource curse. Iraq’s oil wealth alone cannot generate sustainably high living standards for the majority of its population. Economic diversification is an imperative—both to create jobs and to promote income-generating opportunities for the Iraqi population. The key challenges for the authorities therefore are (i) to remove constraints to non-hydrocarbon economic activities; (ii) to ensure the efficient use of oil revenue; and (iii) to restrain the growth of current spending (in particular wage bill and subsidies) to free up resources for public investment, while maintaining essential safety nets and social support for the poor and disadvantaged. Public investment management is a crosscutting capability that is needed to meet Iraq’s development objectives. The government has the opportunity to take concrete steps now. The PER proposes approaches and actions to better use Iraq’s oil revenues by shifting to a save and invest via curbing inefficient spending and redirecting resources to public investment and basic services. As economic growth prospects are favorable in the medium-term, the Iraqi government has the opportunity to lay the foundations of a broadly diversified economy, with a reasonable footprint that provides decent public services and security while facilitating adequate economic freedom. Senior policy makers at the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Planning and line ministries are the primary audience of this work.
