Manipulating Educational Expenditure: Dilemmas for the '70s. Monograph Series/13.
Handa, M. L.
This document has been extracted from the same author's "Toward a Rational Educational Policy," which is an econometric analysis of the components of educational expenditure in the Ontario educational system. The author outlines some substantial changes in approach to educational policy that will be necessary if desirable educational objectives are to be combined with reasonable expenditures. The main portion of this document summarizes the main conclusions of the study in the areas of determining the volume of educational expenditure and revenue, realizing various educational targets, and allocating the education budget; and the implications of the objective of providing educational equity with efficient use of stabilized educational expenditures. The elements included in this goal are the stabilization of educational expenditures, which entails manipulating fees, manipulating scholarships, manipulating per-capita student expenditures, determining the effect of the educated unemployed, understanding the limitations of marginal changes, lowering the legal school-leaving age, making university admission criteria stricter, and determining the role of educational innovations; educational cost and productivity analysis; and inequity in the educational system. An appendix considers some dilemmas of educational policy. (Author/IRT)
