| Summary: | 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. |
