Funding of education

More information

Type of schools Source of funds
The majority of the expenditure in the education system is financed from the central budget and also by the municipalities. The funding mechanism depends on the type of the school, such as:

• state-funded schools

• municipal schools

• non-state-funded schools

 

The above-mentioned financial resources are not available for higher education institutions and for programmes of non-formal education.

 

A financial mechanism involving state budget and municipal resources means that the financing mechanism is implemented through the student’s basket that is allocated on the basis of the number of the students enrolled. The student’s basket covers the salaries of teachers, the cost of textbooks, and the cost of different teaching materials and in-service training of teachers.

 

The founders of the schools also finance the maintenance costs of the schools through allocation the necessary resources.

Non-state funded schools belonging to religious communities or associations implementing formal educational programmes Financed from allocations from the budget for teaching funds and school maintenance. This

financing is implemented in proportion to the state-funded and municipal schools of the same type, and this financial mechanism is possible if there is a respective

international agreement.
