| Summary: | School finance is an essential component
of every education system, but comprehensive guidance on
what matters in school finance systems is lacking.
SABER-School Finance meets this need with a framework that
has dual purposes: to create a knowledge base and to
evaluate the quality of school finance systems. First,
SABER-School Finance maps systems by collecting
comprehensive and standard data in five core areas to
describe the policies, official processes, funding
mechanisms, and other formal guidelines that influence
school finance systems. These data provide context for the
assessment of school finance systems, allow countries to
learn from systems with similar characteristics, and
facilitate future study by other researchers to examine what
matters in school finance. The project also enables systems
to measure progress toward meeting essential school finance
policy goals and gives policy guidance on how best to
improve the system. The SABER-School Finance analysis
identifies strengths, which can serve as examples to other
school finance systems, and weaknesses, or areas to target
for reform or additional in-depth research. SABER-School
Finance’s data and analyses of the management of educational
resources are useful to education policy-makers,
researchers, and stakeholders (including World Bank
operations staff). In this paper, we discuss the main
characteristics of school finance systems, present the
evidence supporting the choice of school finance policy
goals, and explain how the SABER-School Finance framework
provides guidance on what matters most in school finance. |
