Specifically, the objectives of the study are to: i) identify how resources are allocated and used in the education and health sectors; ii) identify leakages and inefficiencies in the system; iii) analyze how existing management models perform and how different public management instruments are applied in each sector; and iv) issue recommendations for improving the management of resources in the education and health sectors. The education and health sectors account for 46.2 percent of Central Government expenditures and have been highlighted as major drivers of growth. The main focus of the analysis in the education sector are the funds allocated to human resources given that it accounts for more than 80 per cent of the budget. The report presents the methodology and main findings from the survey that was carried out between November 2008 and October 2009. The main recommendation of the report is that an effort should be made in order to improve the scope, quality and transparency of the information collected on the provision of education and health services.CC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC DEGREESACADEMIC PERFORMANCEACHIEVEMENTADULTSALCOHOL ABUSEAVERAGE SCOREBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC EDUCATION SECTORBETTER LEARNINGCHILD EDUCATIONCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SOCIETYCLASSROOMCLASSROOMSCOMMITMENT TO EDUCATIONCOMMUNITY EDUCATIONCOMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTCROWDED CLASSROOMSDROPOUT RATESEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION EXPENDITURESEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION FOR ALL INITIATIVEEDUCATION FUNCTIONEDUCATION GOALSEDUCATION INDICATORSEDUCATION INFRASTRUCTUREEDUCATION LEVELSEDUCATION OFFICESEDUCATION OUTCOMESEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMELEMENTSEMPLOYMENTENROLLMENT DATAEXPENDITURESFINAL OUTCOMESFIRST GRADEGHOST WORKERSGIRLSGRADE SCHOOLSHIGH SCHOOLHIGHER TEACHER SALARIESHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESJOB PLACEMENTLEARNINGLEARNING OUTCOMESLETLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIBRARIESMATHEMATICSMEASURING EDUCATION QUALITYMIDDLE SCHOOLMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL AUTONOMOUS UNIVERSITYNUMBER OF STUDENTSNUTRITIONPARENTAL EDUCATIONPARENTAL INVOLVEMENTPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTUREPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL LEVELPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIMARY TEACHERSPRIMARY TEACHINGPRINTINGPRIVATE SCHOOLSPROVISION OF EDUCATIONPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC PRIMARY EDUCATIONPUBLIC SCHOOLPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF TEACHERSREASONINGREPETITIONRURAL AREASRURAL SCHOOLSRURAL TEACHERSRURAL TRADITIONAL SCHOOLSSALARY INCREASESSANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSCHOOL ADMINISTRATIONSCHOOL CONSTRUCTIONSCHOOL COVERAGESCHOOL DAYSSCHOOL DIRECTORSSCHOOL DISTRICTSCHOOL DISTRICTSSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FINANCESCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL LUNCHSCHOOL MANAGEMENTSCHOOL PERFORMANCESCHOOL PERSONNELSCHOOL PLACESSCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL QUALITYSCHOOL SIZESCHOOL SUPPORTSCHOOL SURVEYSCHOOL TEACHERSSCHOOL TEACHINGSCHOOL TYPESSCHOOL VISITSSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSPORTSSTUDENTS PER TEACHERSUBJECTSTEACHERTEACHER ABSENTEEISMTEACHER BEHAVIORTEACHER CHARACTERISTICSTEACHER ORGANIZATIONSTEACHER PAYTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER QUALITYTEACHER SALARIESTEACHER TRAININGTEACHERSTEACHERS UNIONSTEACHINGTEACHING PERSONNELTEACHING POSITIONSTEACHING POSTSTEACHING STAFFTERTIARY EDUCATIONTEST SCORESTEXTBOOKTEXTBOOK DISTRIBUTIONTEXTBOOK PRODUCTIONTEXTBOOKSURBAN SCHOOLURBAN SCHOOLSVISITS TO SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL TRAININGWORKBOOKSWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/3006
