School finance policy goals are observed in the following areas: the basic conditions for learning, monitoring learning conditions and outcomes, overseeing service delivery, budgeting with adequate and transparent information, providing more resources to students who need them, and managing resources efficiently. This report presents findings on the strengths and weaknesses of the school finance system in Serbia. It discusses the need to use more efficiently the public expenditure available for education in the country, and it looks at the policy goals in financing public education more broadly.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENTEEISMACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTACCESS TO COMPUTERSACCESS TO EDUCATIONACHIEVEMENTSBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC EDUCATION POLICYBEGINNING TEACHERSCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCLASS SIZECLASS SIZESCLASSROOMCLASSROOMSCOGNITIVE SKILLSDIRECT COSTS OF EDUCATIONDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSECONOMICS OF EDUCATIONEDUCATION AUTHORITIESEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION CYCLEEDUCATION EXPENDITUREEDUCATION EXPENDITURESEDUCATION FINANCEEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION INDICATORSEDUCATION INSTITUTIONSEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATION STATISTICSEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTEDUCATIONAL INPUTSEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEDUCATIONAL NEEDSEDUCATIONAL PLANNINGEDUCATIONAL PROGRAMSEDUCATIONAL RESOURCESEDUCATIONAL STAKEHOLDERSEFFECTIVE TEACHERSEMPLOYMENTEQUITY IN EDUCATIONEXAMSFREE BASIC EDUCATIONGIRLSGRADE REPETITIONGRADUATION RATESHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSTRUCTIONINSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALSINSTRUCTIONAL TIMEJOB SECURITYLEARNINGLEARNING GOALSLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OPPORTUNITIESLEARNING OUTCOMESLEARNING TIMELETLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF ENROLLMENTLIFELONG LEARNINGLITERACYLITERATUREMATHEMATICSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOBILITYNATIONAL ASSESSMENTNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATION POLICIESNATIONAL LANGUAGENUMBER OF STUDENTSNUMBER OF TEACHERSNUMERACYNUTRITIONPAPERSPARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATIONSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY ENROLLMENTPRIMARY ENROLLMENTSPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTSPRIMARY SCHOOLSPROFICIENCYPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE ON EDUCATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC SCHOOLSPUPIL FINANCINGQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY EDUCATIONQUALITY OF EDUCATIONREADINGREGULAR SCHOOLSRESEARCH INSTITUTERESEARCHERSRESOURCES FOR EDUCATIONRURAL AREASSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL ADMINISTRATORSSCHOOL AGESCHOOL AGE CHILDRENSCHOOL CENSUSSCHOOL CONSTRUCTIONSCHOOL DAYSCHOOL DAYSSCHOOL FACTORSSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL FINANCESCHOOL FUNDINGSCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL LEARNINGSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL NETWORKSCHOOL NETWORKSSCHOOL PROGRAMSCHOOL SIZESCHOOL TEACHERSSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSSECONDARY SCHOOLSSECONDARY STUDENTSSMALL SCHOOLSSPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDSSPECIAL NEEDSSPECIAL SCHOOLSSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENT SYSTEMSSTUDENT ENROLLMENTSTUDENT GROUPSTUDENT GROUPSSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT POPULATIONSUPPLY OF TEACHERSTEACHERTEACHER QUALIFICATIONSTEACHER SALARIESTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING ENVIRONMENTTEACHING PROCESSTEACHING STAFFTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETERTIARY EDUCATIONTEXTBOOKSTRADE UNIONSTUITIONUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVULNERABLE CHILDRENYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTH10.1596/17672
