| Summary: | Systems approach for better education
results (SABER) school finance collects, analyzes,
synthesizes, and disseminates comprehensive information on
school finance policies in primary and secondary education
across a range of different education systems. The goal is
to enable policymakers to learn about how other countries
address the same policy challenges related to school finance
and thus how to make well informed policy choices that will
lead to improved learning outcomes. SABER school finance is
a framework that guides the collection of standardized data
to characterize and assess school finance systems around the
world. The project primarily examines education finance
policies, relying on key informants and official document
review to map out the policy landscape. To describe the
essential functions of an education finance system, SABER
school finance collects information in five data collection
areas: (i) school conditions and resources; (ii) allocation
mechanisms; (iii) revenue sources; (iv) education spending;
and (v) fiscal control and capacity. After identifying how a
particular education finance system functions, SABER school
finance determines the extent to which the system
effectively provides resources so that all children can
learn, using six policy goals widely shared across
countries: (i) ensuring basic conditions for learning; (ii)
monitoring learning conditions and outcomes; (iii)
overseeing service delivery; (iv) budgeting with adequate
and transparent information; (v) providing more resources to
students who need them; and (vi) managing resources
efficiently. This country report uses this framework to
characterize and assess the education finance system in Guinea. |
