• Who Pays for Education?

    when we are in the domain of the financing of education. The question ⁉ arises "WHO PAYS FOR EDUCATION"

    Research on source of finance for education have been concerned with two main questions: first, who pays for education and secondly are there any alternative sources of finance, that could be exploited to enable a greater share of nation’s resources to be devoted to education, or to redistribute the burden of finance more equitably between individuals.
    The question of who pays for education is questions of facts and figures, which can be answered with precision, give adequate financial statistics. The question of whether new sources of finance are desirable or feasible, in the future is much more controversial, and involves value judgments about the political and social implications of alternate methods of raising funds, the effect of different finance systems on the quality and control of educational institutions, and the consequence of new ways of paying for education, for the distribution of income or educational opportunity (Woodhall, 1972).

    What can be the alternative strategies for paying for education?
