Uwarunkowania pomiaru efektywności finansowania edukacji – zarys problemu

Due to the significance and benefits of education for individual participants and communities (both in the local and global dimension), state authorities commit themselves to full or partial public funding, which does not exclude private spending. The key issue for the economics of education is to analyse the efficiency of education funding by defining a relationship between effects and expenditures. This paper outlines the problems of measuring the efficiency of education funding (from public funds in particular) based on a critical literature review and the results of the author’s previous analysis. The author presents an original concept of research into the efficiency of education funding (intended direction, scope, hypotheses and methods), announcing a series of publications about the conditions for its measurement.
