Expenditure Analysis 2004 • Total recurrent expenditure by level of education • In the ESP, the target for recurrent expenditure on primary education as a % of total recurrent expenditure on education in 2004 is 37.6%, falling to 34.4% in 2015. • The actual % in 2004 for primary education was 34.5% • Total expenditure by level of education • When all sources of funding are included, total expenditure (recurrent and capital) on primary education fell to 32% of the resource envelope, while tertiary rose to 21% • Unit cost by level of education • In 2004, it cost over 10 times as much to educate a tertiary student as a primary student and approximately 4 times as much to educate a SSS or TVET student as a primary student

Key Issues • Influence of external sources of funding • There is a need to ensure that all contributors to education sector development are working in line with MOES and ESP priorities • At present, external funding is directed mainly at higher levels of education, which is undermining the progress of the primary sector, and, consequently, the development of the education sector • Reporting of all sources of funding • A coordinated approach to expenditure reporting is needed in order to improve the efficiency of the operation of the education sector • In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the total resource envelope is as comprehensive as possible – e.g. information on the expenditure by NGOs on the education sector should be collected
Key Issues • Timely release of funds • In order that implementation of the ESP and the programme of work, as captured in the AESOP, can run on schedule,a more regular flow of funds to the sector will be necessary • Public expenditure on higher levels of education • Enrolment figures at SSS and Tertiary are much higher than those targeted in the ESP • The unit cost for students at these levels of education is much higher than that for primary • Increasing enrolment at these levels of education, without initiating cost-sharing activities, is reducing the proportion of the overall budget available for the primary sector.
Key Issues • High proportion of budget used for salary expenditure • There is a need to ensure a clean payroll and identify actual teacher requirements, to justify the budget figures • This is of particular importance in view of the anticipated expansion in enrolment due to impending reforms • Legislative Reforms • The Ministry must review its existing accounting, procurement and internal audit procedures in the light of new laws that impact on financial management procedures
Moving forward – Education Reform • General outcomes of proposals • 11 years of compulsory education • 4 year Senior High stream or apprenticeship programme • All students to attend Senior High or apprenticeship by 2020 • Resourcing implications • An increase in student numbers at all levels of education will lead to an overall increase in resource requirements • Priority must be given to the primary sector, in order to ensure that MDGs and other primary targets are met • Sources of external funding should be discovered and utilised for higher levels of education
Questions • Key recommendations for Financing? • Key inputs into AESOP? • Key inputs into Budget?
