The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to provide recommendations for tracking public expenditure and improving service delivery in the basic education sector in Yemen. To this end, it documents the management of public resources in Yemen's education sector and potential inefficiencies in the use of these resources. This report, through its various components, revealed significant impediments-teacher deployment and salary payment, materials provision, student and teacher attendance, among others-on the path to improving education service delivery in Yemen. This study examines four main research issues related to Yemen's education sector: 1) leakage in the flow of funds, 2) compliance with financial management standards, 3) incentives to provide better quality services, and 4) teacher management issues. The study investigates the disparities and inconsistencies between formal regulations and informal practices in teacher deployment, wage payments, and resource allocations to schools. The study explores how absenteeism correlates with a wide range of potential determinants of the quality of education at the individual, facility, and national levels.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENTEEISM RATESACADEMIC YEARACCESS RATEACCURATE INFORMATIONACHIEVEMENTSADULT LITERACYADULT LITERACY RATEAVAILABILITY OF TEXTBOOKSBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC EDUCATION DEVELOPMENTBASIC EDUCATION POLICYBASIC EDUCATION SECTORBASIC EDUCATION STRATEGYBASIC EDUCATION SYSTEMBASIC SCHOOLSBOARD OF DIRECTORSCALLCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCIVIL SERVICECLASS SIZECLASSROOMCLASSROOMSCOHORT SURVIVALCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMPLETION RATESCOMPULSORY BASIC EDUCATIONCURRICULUMDECISION MAKINGDELIVERY MECHANISMSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT GOALSDIPLOMASDISTRICT EDUCATIONDOUBLE SHIFTDOUBLE SHIFTSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION EXPENDITUREEDUCATION EXPENDITURESEDUCATION FINANCEEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION OFFICESEDUCATION OFFICIALSEDUCATION PLANSEDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATION TARGETSEDUCATIONAL ACCESSEDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENTEDUCATIONAL OUTCOMESEDUCATIONAL PERSONNELEDUCATIONAL QUALITYEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMEMPLOYMENTENROLLMENT EXPANSIONENROLLMENT FIGURESENROLLMENT GROWTHENROLLMENT RATESEQUITABLE EDUCATIONEXAMSEXPENDITURES PER STUDENTFEMALE ADULT ILLITERACYFEMALE ENROLLMENTFEMALE ENROLLMENT RATEFEMALE ILLITERACYFEMALE LITERACYFEMALE LITERACY RATESFEMALE STUDENTSFEMALE TEACHERFEMALE TEACHERSFINAL EXAMSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFREEDOM OF MOVEMENTGENDER DISPARITIESGENDER GAPGENDER IMBALANCESGENDER INEQUALITIESGENDER PARITYGENDER-SENSITIVEGENERAL EDUCATIONGENERAL SECONDARY EDUCATIONGERGHOST WORKERSGIRLSGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATEGROSS ENROLLMENT RATESHIGH RATES OF REPETITIONHIGHER GRADESHUMAN DEVELOPMENTILLITERACY RATEILLITERACY RATESINTAKE RATEJOB SECURITYLEARNINGLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OPPORTUNITIESLEARNING OUTCOMESLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLITERACY RATESLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL LEVELLOCAL SCHOOLSMINISTRIES OF FINANCEMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMONITORING LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTNEEDS ASSESSMENTNUMBER OF SCHOOLSNUMBER OF STUDENTSNUMBER OF TEACHERSNUMBER OF TEXTBOOKSNUTRITIONOFFICIAL CURRICULUMPARTICIPATION IN EDUCATIONPER STUDENT EXPENDITURESPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRE-SERVICE TEACHER TRAININGPRIMARY COMPLETIONPRIMARY COMPLETION RATEPRIMARY SCHOOLINGPROVISION OF TEXTBOOKSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC SCHOOLINGPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONRECREATIONAL ACTIVITIESRECURRENT EDUCATION EXPENDITURESREMOTE SCHOOLSREPEATERSRESEARCHERSRETENTION RATESRURAL AREASRURAL SCHOOLSSCHOOL AFFAIRSSCHOOL AUTONOMYSCHOOL BUILDINGSCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL CONSTRUCTIONSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL ENVIRONMENTSCHOOL FACILITIESSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL FURNITURESCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL LEVELSSCHOOL MAPPINGSCHOOL PERSONNELSCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL RECORDSSCHOOL SIZESCHOOL STUDENTSSCHOOL SUPPLIESSCHOOL SURVEYSCHOOL SURVEYSSCHOOL TIMESCHOOL VISITSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSCHOOLS FOR GIRLSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSSERVICE TRAININGSIGNIFICANT CHALLENGESSTANDARDIZED TESTSSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ATTENDANCESTUDENT ENROLLMENTSTUDENT EXPENDITURESSTUDENT-TEACHER RATIOTEACHERTEACHER ABSENTEEISMTEACHER DEPLOYMENTTEACHER DEVELOPMENTTEACHER EMPLOYMENTTEACHER HIRINGTEACHER MANAGEMENTTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER QUALITYTEACHER SELECTIONTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER WORKFORCETEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING FORCETEACHING PERSONNELTEACHING POSTSTEXTBOOKTEXTBOOK DISTRIBUTIONTEXTBOOK PROVISIONTEXTBOOKSUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY ENROLLMENTUNIVERSITY DEGREEUNIVERSITY DEGREE HOLDERSUNIVERSITY DEGREESURBAN AREASURBAN SCHOOLSVISITS TO SCHOOLSWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/8156
