Although the relationship between
education spending and outcomes has been the topic of a
fairly rich body of research at the primary and secondary
levels and has been found fairly ambiguous it has been
poorly documented at the tertiary level, despite ever rising
expenditures at this level. This paper is exploring the
impact of various measures of spending on a range of
outcomes of tertiary education, using cross-country
comparisons. It finds that public expenditures are only
loosely linked with outcomes in terms of access and
participation, but that they are positively associated with
proxies of quality. Private expenditures appear to have no
impact on either quantity or quality. This exploratory
research shows very different patterns for the group of
high-income countries and less developed countries. Data
allowing, it also sheds a special light on the South Asia
Region, where patterns largely echoes the situation of the
low income countries. |
