Yesterday, we posted Uwazi’s primary education study on the government-mandated Public Expenditure Tracking Survey.
Today, we present the secondary education study from July 2010, titled More Students, Less Money. That is, how much of the money that is officially allocated to education in Tanzania is benefiting secondary school learning?
Uwazi found the following results:
- More money for education, but less per student for secondary education.
- Not all money is released, other revenues raised by schools must fill the gap.
- Flow of funds is straightforward, but still money arrives late.
- Rural schools have fewer teachers per student than urban schools.
- Community schools have fewer teachers per student than government schools.
- Government and urban schools have more qualified teachers.
- Government schools have more resources for teaching materials.
- Teachers are often absent.
- Community and rural schools perform poorly in examinations.
- Information management is weak; data discrepancies are commonplace.
