Jamaica School Finance

Although the availability of financial resources does not guarantee quality education, it is impossible to achieve this goal without adequate resources which often come from public sources. Understanding how to use resources for education wisely should thus be a top priority for education policymakers. Systems approach for better education results (SABER) school finance informs this conversation with a focus on the policies that drive performance in a school finance system. 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. 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. 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 Jamaica.
