“…Many analysts argue that the injection of additional financial resources into schools, by itself, has limited impact on realizing education goals [25], [26].

Abstract:Expenditure on education is regarded as investment in human capital because it helps in skill formation and thus raises the ability to work and produce more. Government education spending is of great importance to national development and plays a critical role in promoting growth and knowledge deepening. This paper examines government education spending and education outcome in Nigeria from 1970 -2013. Employing Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root test and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) technique, the study revealed that public education spending has a positive and significant effect on education outcome in Nigeria. Public health expenditure and urban population growth were also found to have positive effects on education outcome but are non significant in determining education outcome. The study recommends among other things, that government should spend more on education which needs to be targeted for the desired effects to be realized. Again government should monitor spending given the history of corruption and embezzlement of public funds in Nigeria.

“…There is some controversy about private and public schools in Indonesia. James et al (1996) found that private schools were better managed in Indonesia than public schools, and they argued that private management is more efficient than public management in achieving academic quality. There is also some evidence that private funding also increases efficiency whether the schools are publicly or privately managed.…”
