This reorientation of expenditure goes hand in hand with the increase in resources allocated to investment in the quality of school education. There is general agreement that MOOE resources are insufficient to meet the operational needs of schools. A module that allows the Ministry of Education to access and manage transactions directly in the Government`s Financial Management Information Systems (MMIS) is being tested. The Ministry of Education is developing its automated system to facilitate reporting and expenditure management at regional, ESD and school levels. Paragraph 3. The amounts necessary for the implementation of the provisions of this Law shall be paid annually from the resources of the State Treasury, which may not be used elsewhere, provided, however, that instead of the registration fees not collected, the amount of two million pesos shall be deferred and distributed to all cities; Municipalities and municipalities, with the exception of the city of Manila, at the rate of two pesos for each middle school student, the same amount is calculated for the school year 1963-1964 on the basis of enrolment from March 1963 onwards: in addition, in each subsequent school year, an additional amount is granted and added to this amount, which is equal to two pesos multiplied by the number of students enrolled in the college. compared with March of the previous school year, which exceeded the number of students enrolled in March 1963. The 2018 SHS cost assessment also revealed that differences in land prices resulted in very different cost structures for private providers in different markets and territories where land prices were higher. The current coupon amounts were likely too small to encourage private schools to accept additional students paying vouchers, or that the additional fees required would subsidize students who already have the financial means to attend upper secondary school.
Section 1 Section seven of the Commonwealth Act numbered five hundred and eighty-six, as amended by the Commonwealth Act numbered six hundred and fifty-six, is amended as follows: “Section 7. From the school year one thousand nine hundred and forty to nineteen hundred and forty-one, public primary education (including elementary and secondary schools) is supported by the national government. Land for the school, primary and middle classes is acquired by municipalities, municipalities or chartered cities by conditional or absolute purchase or donation: provided that the Department of Education, with the consent of the President of the Philippines, may waive any requirement to purchase standard-sized school land if it is not available. The necessary funds will be provided by the national government for the purchase of additional readers and other library books previously approved by the Textbook Board or the Director of Public Schools, as well as for sports activities in the middle classes, provided that preference is given to books that contribute to Filipino literature. For both programs, contracts or vouchers should provide additional school places at a lower cost than the cost of expanding the public system. Section eight of subsection 2 of the Commonwealth Act, numbered five hundred and eighty-six, is amended as follows: “Section 8. In order to enable the National Government to adequately finance public primary schools and to bear the burden of their operation under this Act, from the first of July in the year one thousand nine hundred and forty, the revenue from taxes under the Commonwealth Act numbered Four Hundred and Sixty-Five, known as the Residence Tax Act, shall be decided as follows: “Of all taxes, collected and transferred to the collector of internal revenue in accordance with section eight of the Commonwealth Act numbered Four hundred and sixty-five, fifty per cent shall be divided in the following proportions by the said collector on the basis of population, as indicated in the most recent official census; Half of the general provincial funds. A sub-province receives its share of the revenue allocated to it; and “the other half to the general funds of charter cities, municipalities and municipalities.” Of the remaining fifty per cent of the revenue derived from these taxes, municipalities and municipalities continue to receive the corresponding share of the school fund of the municipalities and municipalities to which they were entitled under the legal provisions in force before the first of July in the year one thousand nine hundred and forty. The balance, including the share of the charter cities in the school fund of the cities to which they were entitled under the legal provisions in force before the first of July in the year one thousand nine hundred and sixty-two, shall revert to the national government. In some places, this deficit is at least partially covered by local government resources.
However, the capacity of local governments to provide additional resources can vary considerably depending on their ability to generate revenue. In order to ensure a more equitable distribution of operational resources among schools, it may be necessary to consider alternative allocation formulas that take into account the financial capacity of the LGU. The share of BEFF expenditure in total basic education expenditure increased from around 3% in 2013 to 20% in 2017. While local government spending has increased in nominal terms in most years, spending on DepEd and BEFF has grown faster, and the share of total basic education spending funded by local governments has increased from about 6% in 2010 to about 3% in 2017. The School Spending Program is the largest spending program in the Ministry of Education`s budget. Spending on school management doubled between 2015 and 2019 (up 114%). Some of the growing “burden” of school operating expenditures likely reflects some economies of scale – with enrolment growth having a greater impact on resource requirements at the school level than the need for administrative or curriculum development resources. Major asset investment programs are managed by DPWH, not DepEd. Capital expenditures managed by DepEd are primarily learning tools and materials, as well as ICT for schools and the ministry.
During the IP, the GoP revised the budgetary framework and gradually introduced cash budgeting for the previous commitment-based framework. The use of commitments as a substitute for expenditures provides a basis for assessing trends and patterns over time. The proliferation of substandard private primary and secondary schools that do not meet the basic requirements for establishing private schools to ensure quality education for national development is a common phenomenon in Nigeria. With this in mind, the paper therefore considered the following sub-themes: Chronicles of Private Primary and Secondary Education in Nigeria, Reasons for Private Sector Participation in Education in Nigeria, Basic Requirements for the Establishment of Private Primary and Secondary Schools and Quality Education, Relevance of Primary and Secondary Education to National Development, Diffusion of Private Primary and Secondary Schools, and Quality Education in Nigeria, and the Impact of the Proliferation of Unhealthy Private Primary and Secondary Schools in Nigeria on National Development. It was therefore concluded that quality education is important for national development. And this government should be proactive in preventing any member of the public intending to establish a private school without the basic requirements from doing so, while educating them on the need to prioritize the provision of quality education over economic benefits. The article also summarizes the current state of basic education financing and identifies priority areas for further analysis to support PPEP development. However, both studies raised questions about grants for relatively wealthier students who could afford to pay tuition. Subsidizing students who would likely participate without subsidies reduces the effectiveness of programs in expanding access to secondary education.
MOOE expenses are typically used to pay bills for supplies and materials, transportation and travel expenses, as well as allowances, utilities, repairs, and minor capital projects.
