| Summary: | Countries invest in basic education to
provide their citizens with the means to acquire the
foundations for building human capital. Countries with good
school education systems provide equity of access, i.e.,
encourage all children, irrespective of gender, household
income, and geographical location, from the early years
onwards, to participate in the full cycle of education. Good
education systems have learning environments that lead to
strong learning outcomes. Since education is the basis for
human capital development and improves individual
productivity and earnings, good education systems contribute
both to economic growth and social equity. This report looks
at the role played by public expenditure in improving
access, equity, quality, and learning in basic education in
the Philippines. It builds on work undertaken earlier,
especially the Basic Education Public Expenditure Review and
the Philippines Public Education Expenditure Tracking and
Quantitative Service Delivery Survey. Specifically, this
review provides a comparative picture of sector performance,
where possible, between the periods 2002 to 2008 and 2009 to
2017, the former being the period studied by BEPER (2012).
Chapter one looks at quantity and quality in basic
education, Chapter two examines equity issues, and chapter
three looks at patterns of public expenditure in basic
education. In the remaining section of this introduction, a
brief description of how basic education is managed and
financed in the Philippines is provided. |
