Summary: | In support of the multi-annual efforts
of the Government of Serbia to advance financing policies
and practice in the education sector, the World Bank
conducted a review of policies related to school finance
along the Systems Approach for Better Education Results
(SABER)-school finance framework. School finance policy
goals are observed in the following areas: the basic
conditions for learning, monitoring learning conditions and
outcomes, overseeing service delivery, budgeting with
adequate and transparent information, providing more
resources to students who need them, and managing resources
efficiently. The Serbia report for 2012 is one of the first
national reports under the global benchmarking exercise of
the World Bank, in the area of school finance, aimed at
outlining policies that drive performance in a school
finance system. This report presents findings on the
strengths and weaknesses of the school finance system in
Serbia. It discusses the need to use more efficiently the
public expenditure available for education in the country,
and it looks at the policy goals in financing public
education more broadly. |
