  • Financial and Human Resources Invested in Education
    Chapter B FINANCIAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES INVESTED IN EDUCATION Overview CHAPTER B Classification of educational expenditure Educational expenditure in this indicator is classified through three dimensions: • The first dimension – represented by the horizontal axis in the diagram below – relates to the location where spending occurs. Spending on schools and uni- versities, education ministries and other agencies directly involved in provid- ing and supporting education is one component of this dimension. Spending on education outside these institutions is another. • The second dimension – represented by the vertical axis in the diagram below – classifies the goods and services that are purchased. Not all expenditure on educational institutions can be classified as direct educational or instructional expenditure. Educational institutions in many OECD countries offer various ancillary services – such as meals, transports, housing, etc. – in addition to teaching services to support students and their families. At the tertiary level B spending on research and development can be significant. Not all spending on educational goods and services occurs within educational institutions. For example, families may purchase textbooks and materials themselves or seek private tutoring for their children. • The third dimension – represented by the colours in the diagram below – dis- tinguishes among the sources from which funding originates. These include the public sector and international agencies (indicated by the light blue colour), and households and other private entities (indicated by the mid-blue colour). Where private expenditure on education is subsidised by public funds, this is indicated by cells in the dark blue colour. The diagram is repeated at the beginning of each indicator to illustrate each indicator visually.

SECRETARY OF STATE FOR BUSINESS, INNOVATION & SKILLS AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE UNITED STATES In the past seventy years, the idea of education as a fundamental right has spread in democratic countries throughout the world.1 Multiple constitutions and international treaties have codified an inalienable right to education provided by the government.2 Recent litigation has highlighted a possibility that high tuition rates for universities may effectively serve as barriers to accessing higher learning and infringe upon this fundamental right to education.

  • Public Service Fellowship (Psf)
    PUBLIC SERVICE FELLOWSHIP (PSF) Deadline: first round – 30 November, 2020; second round – 31 March, 2021 Form: Part of tuition payments deferred or forgiven if student works for public sector after graduation The purpose of the Public Service Fellowships (PSF) is to encourage students from the program to seek public service employment in their countries of origin. The program recognizes that post-communist countries in particular have faced a real need for evidence- and data-based public service, but at the same time a lack of interest by relevant professionals to deliver better public policy. Since the MA in Applied Economics program at CERGE-EI is well suited to develop professionals for these positions, we are setting up a fellowship to encourage public service involvement of our graduates. In addition to receiving a tuition deferment schedule, students will also get additional mentoring from MAE and PhD alumni who work in the public sector. How does Public Service Fellowship work? Public service fellows have a substantial part of their tuition payments deferred until after graduation. Fellows who can demonstrate full time employment by a public service organization in an eligible country for at least 24 months starting September 1, 2022 will have their tuition payments covered by the CERGE-EI Foundation. Otherwise, fellows will be expected to pay their deferred tuition in full plus a service charge of 500 USD. We anticipate offering up to 4 fellowships in the 2021/2022 academic year. Application Process Application deadline: first round – 30 November, 2020; second round – 31 March, 2021. You have to apply to the MA in Applied Economics program by the same deadline to be considered for the fellowship.

To test whether public support for tuition depends on information and design, we devise several survey experiments in representative samples of the German electorate (N>19,500). The electorate is divided, with a slight plurality opposing tuition. Providing information on the university earnings premium raises support for tuition by 7 percentage points, turning the plurality in favor. The opposition-reducing effect persists two weeks after treatment. Information on fiscal costs and unequal access does not affect public preferences. Designing tuition as deferred income-contingent payments raises support by 16 percentage points, creating a strong majority favoring tuition. The same effect emerges when framed as loan payments.
