Funding of education

More information

Type of schools Source of funds
Fundamental public schools Funded directly by MENJE and by local education authorities. MENJE pays for the staff costs on the basis of the allocated teaching lessons and taking into account socio-economic indicators.

Local authorities provide financial sources for services beyond this quota and for infrastructure, school equipment.

Secondary schools Get funding directly from the State. They have got the autonomy to manage their financial resources. The allocation of the funds is based on the budget plan created by the school leader. The allocation has to be approved by the school’s Education Council. The costs of the buildings and teachers in technical secondary schools are covered by the MENJE similar to the costs related to school education and initial VET.
Private schools Can apply for state subsidies, the amount of which depends on whether the school follows the national curriculum.

Procurement Procedure

More information

Public procurement processes are organized through one major platform.

Public Procurement Directorate within the Public Works Department of the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure (MDDI): responsible policy body which is in charge of the regulatory framework, legislation development, monitoring and implementation.

Tender Commission within the MDDI: consultative body which is composed of representatives from the contracting authorities, cottage industries and chamber of commerce.

  • overviews the processes in order to ensure the compliance with the regulations
  • its findings are generally adopted by the contracting authorities hence they are not binding
  • processes the complaints regarding public procurement processes and decisions

Tenderers are allowed to submit their complaints directly to the contracting authority and in this case, this complaint does not have any effect on the procedure. Appeals should be submitted to the administrative court or to civil and commercial courts.

The two main appointed supervision bodies:

  1. National Court of Auditors: investigates a set of public organisations on a yearly basis, no official report is created from the findings
  2. Competition Council: regularly issues decisions on unfair competition in public procurement procedures.

Other Important Information

More information

Public schools do not have as much autonomy as in other countries in the OECD in general.

Fundamental schools belong to one of the 21local authorities and each of these authorities is led by an inspector. The schools are managed jointly by the state and the municipalities. Public secondary schools are managed directly by MENJE appointing the school leaders and setting the legal and financial frameworks for each school.
