“…While DFFS is negatively associated with GAE and TE, also shows a very weak relationship with GAE. This implies that the donation and fundraising of the school's running are lesser than what the government budgeted to enhance sophisticated education (Mou, Atkinson, & Marshall, 2019). 4 shows the relationship of the correlated variables and their level of signi cance; this aligns with the result in Table 3.…”

The assessment of a country's education quality lies in the productivity level of public education in relation to the country's development through education. Generally, the government conscientiously provides education to the citizens by providing sufficient resources to build human capital development. The study reveals Chinese government funds the education expenditures of all 31 provinces, including the municipalities. The result indicates that each year China government budgets more money for education. The correlation analysis proves that there are (0.9311), i.e., 93% of total expenditure (TE) on education from 1992 to 2017. This implies seriousness in fostering sustainability in investing in education across the country by China's leadership. In addition, government appropriation expenditure (GAE) and public expenditure (PE) are significantly and strongly correlated at 0.9990 (99.9%) and 0.9983 (99.8%), respectively. The summary of returns to education was qualitatively reviewed in tabular form to highlight the phases and progress which China's education has recorded. Though the literature buttresses the gradual progress to education returns, remarkable achievements have been made in the present administration in his plans on education. Besides, the study highlighted other possible means for education expenditure and funding, such as research, tuition, donations from organizations and agencies, tax revenues.

“…Given differences in the significant amount of money spent on education (inputs) and the corresponding test scores achieved per province or territory (outcomes) (Mou, Atkinson, and Marshall 2019), we were interested in better understanding what budgeting processes are employed across Canada. What we found was that the vast majority of provinces and territories are Almost entirely or Entirely budgeting incrementally for education.…”

This article reports on a first‐ever survey of budgeting practices regarding the public K‐12 education sector in Canada. We interviewed budget officers in 12 of the 13 Canadian provinces and territories. It finds that most jurisdictions construct budgets using incremental approaches and are not allowing for a potential of $5.4 billion in annual productivity gains. We discuss three budgeting approaches for governments to consider: incremental budgeting, performance‐based budgeting, and productivity budgeting. We argue for productivity budgeting because it improves cost‐efficiency, allows productivity gains to be captured at the centre, and is more feasible than performance‐based budgeting.

“…Open budgeting refers to public access to budget information in education-related processes, with opportunities for citizens to participate in the budget cycle (Bilge, 2020). The level of community involvement is community access to transparent information regarding budget allocations and expenditures, consultation with the community regarding budget decisions, especially regarding resource allocation priorities, and active community involvement in all decisions made in the budget cycle, from resource allocation to use and control (Mou et al, 2019). Open budgeting must be carried out at all levels of education system administration, from the central level to the local and school levels.…”

The aim of this research is to analyze open government bibliometrics in the education sector. Education is one of the most popular fields in open government. This research uses a qualitative approach with bibliometric analysis methods. The data used is secondary, obtained from the Scopus database. Data was collected using Publish or Perish with the keyword education sector open government. The data obtained was then selected using OpenRefine and analyzed using VOSviewer to obtain a bibliometric map generated from keywords throughout the paper. Based on the results of this research, there have been 160 papers in the last 51 years. The first open government paper on the education sector was published in 1972. There are 17634 citations, 75 h-index, and 126 g-index, which shows this paper has high impact and productivity. In this paper, there are 153 keywords grouped into 13 clusters. From these keywords, 1878 total link strengths and 663 occurrences were obtained. The keywords that dominate this paper are open policy making, social auditing, open contracting, and open budgeting. This shows that open government studies in the education sector focus on these issues.
