The objective of the presentation is to share good practices in promoting and supporting entrepreneurship within higher education. It will also elaborate on actions which were taken by Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education to examine the progress of Polish higher education institutions (HEIs) towards becoming “entrepreneurial HEIs”, improving efficiency of transition from education to the labor market, increasing the usefulness of competences acquired by university graduates for the labor market, improving access to information about the graduates’ career paths in the labor market. Poland has been implementing the new graduate tracking system in order to get reliable and comparable data on graduates’ employment outcomes. It will be based on administrative data: matching database of graduates with anonymized data from the Social Insurance Institution focuses on transversal skills. Since 2014 Poland has been implementing the competency development programme which will support the training sessions and workshops aimed at increasing the skills and competences most relevant to the labour market, including entrepreneurship, but also interpersonal skills, including efficient use of the Polish language (literacy skills), formulating opinions, teamwork, negotiation techniques, additional courses delivered jointly with employers, career guidance. In October 2014 the Ministry and the National Centre of Research and Development announced the new competition, supported by the European Social Fund, for projects supporting career offices and career guidance in particular. Presentation will introduce the most important achievements of the objectives referred to the Frames of European cooperation on education and training.

Effectiveness of Internal Audits in Public Educational Institutions in Kenya...IJMER
Internal auditing has become a factor of the new accountability and control era. The
manner in which public sector entities maintain internal control and how they are held accountable has
evolved to require more transparency and more accountability from these organizations that spend
investor or taxpayer funds. This trend has significantly impacted how management implements,
monitors, and reports on internal control. Although internal auditors can be a valuable advisory
resource on internal control, the internal auditor should not be a substitute for a strong internal control
system. A system of internal control is the primary response to risks. The role of internal auditing has
evolved from an administrative procedure with a focus on compliance, to an important element of good
governance. In many cases the existence of internal auditing is mandatory (intosaigov 9140).

This report on the funding of school education constitutes the first in a series of thematic comparative reports bringing together findings from the OECD School Resources Review. School systems have limited financial resources with which to pursue their objectives and the design of school funding policies plays a key role in ensuring that resources are directed to where they can make the most difference. As OECD school systems have become more complex and characterised by multi-level governance, a growing set of actors are increasingly involved in financial decision-making. This requires designing funding allocation models that are aligned to a school system’s governance structures, linking budget planning procedures at different levels to shared educational goals and evaluating the use of school funding to hold decision makers accountable and ensure that resources are used effectively and equitably.

Aligned with the binary structure of the higher education system in Portugal, divided into universities and polytechnics, the Government
acknowledged, in 2014, the need to identify distinct performance indicators/metrics aiming at a more accurate assessment of the effect
and quality of the action developed by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). For the Polytechnic Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs)
it was necessary to define «(…) performance indicators that address the production, transfer and diffusion of knowledge» (FCT, 2014: 1),

THE FINANCING OF THE PRIMARY AND GENERAL
SECONDARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN THE REPUBLIC
OF MOLDOVA

Abstract: Formerly, in the Republic of Moldova financing for pre-university education, is based on standard cost per
student. A standard cost system is valuable for the education institutions management and for the planning and
decision-making purposes in the context of efficiency and funding. Negative demographic trends create problems of
over-dimensioning of the network of educational institutions, in particular, in general education, leading to inefficient
use of resources and do not allow investing in upgrading of schools and coverage of their needs. The objectives of this
paper were to provide a greater understanding of the standard cost mechanism of financing of pre-university
education.
Indexterms: education, standard cost, institution, finance, funds, public administration unit, formula, district
component.
Jel Classification: I22
I. INTRODUCTION
The education field in the Republic of Moldova is a national priority and the primary factorfor the strong
development of a society based on knowledge. The State assures the financing of a standard package of educational
services for primary, gymnasium and lyceum education, regardless of the type of property of the Educational Institution.
The standard package of educational services for general education is approved by the Government. The basic financing
of the general education is performed on the principle “the money follows the student” [1], in accordance with which the
sources allocated for student are transferred to the education institution in which he or she is studying [4].
The priority source of financing of primary and secondary general education institutions constitute the category transfers
with special destination from the state budget to local budgets.
The transfers with special destination are calculated and carried out by the Finance Ministry, according to regulations
approved through Government’s Decision no. 868 from October 8, 2014 “On financing of the basis of basic standard
cost per pupil of primary and secondary general education institutions from the subordination of the local public
authorities of second level” MO no. 319-324 art. 930, October 24, 2014.
II. OVERVIEW OF FINANCING SYSTEM OF PRE-UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN THE
REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA
The modernization of the financing system of pre-university education from the Republic of Moldova is meant to
provide:
The increasing of the expenses’ equilibration per pupil;
a) The improvement of public expenses;
b) The simplification and strengthening of the possibilities for forecasting the budgeting process;
c) The increasing of the transparency in the schools’ financing;
d) The extending of financial autonomy.

The information from the table confirms the increase in expenditures for financing primary and general
secondary education institutions from 4464.5 million lei in 2018 to 5859.9 million lei in 2021. This represents an
increase of 23.8 percentage points. At the same time, the number of students decreased from 326762 in 2018 to 325267
in 2021, which represents a decrease of 1495 students. The table also presents the average expenses per student being
increased by 4352.8 lei in 2021 compared to 2018.
The methodology of funding based on standard cost per student has positively influenced the rationalization of the
school network so the number of students per institution has increased. Nevertheless, the total number of students at
education institutions is steadily declining since 2019.
III. STANDARD –COST FINANCIAL MECHANISM
The literature review screens scholarly studies on allocating money through funding formula
directly to schools, thus it excludes formula funding schemes between different levels of government. The impact of
formulas on incentives and school finances can be clearly distinguished from other allocation mechanisms whereas this
is not the case when redistribution by formula takes place between different levels of government (Fazekas2012)[7].
The utilization of the cost standards makes the financing system in education more transparent and more predictable in
comparison with the financing mechanism based on historical costs.
Thus, the budgets of the schools are constructed on the basis of costs per pupil and per institution determined annually
through the Law of the State Budget, the number of pupils and a series of specific coefficients.
The financing methodology of the standard cost per pupil is represented through a unique (unified) specific formula for
the budgets of different levels applied on the basis of the expenses grounds for all educational institutions. The category
transfers are extended over basic componence of the budget and comprise:
Current expenses with the exception of expenses for:
Food ;
Studying of languages of national minorities;
Specific conditions of retribution of the workers work of some institutions from the districts of Causeni, Anenii
Noi and Dubasari;
The activity of the mandatory training groups for school children;
The additional salary, as a result of the reduction to 75% of didactic norm for teachers in the first three years of
pedagogical activity”;
Capital expenses, with exception of capital investments.
In order to determine the relations between state budget and administrative-territorial budgets in implementation of the
financing methodology, the amount of category transfers for administrative-territorial units of second level is calculated
according to the following formula
C = A x N + B x S, (1)
where:
C – the amount of category transfers for all educational institutions from administrative-territorial unit;
A – value norm for a “weight coefficient”;
N – number of “weight coefficient” in a concrete administrative-territorial unit;
B - value norm for an educational institution;
S – number of educational institutions of an administrative – territorial unit;(annex no. 1 to Government’s
Decision of RM no. 868 from October 08, 2014)[3].

The number of “weight coefficient” (N) is determined in all educational institutions on the basis of data regarding the
number of pupils from the groups of 1st – 4th, 5th – 9th and 10th – 12th classes, at the end of the management period,
from the 9-month report of the previous budgetary year. The data of each group of classes is multiplied with weighting
coefficient for each group
0,83 – for pupils of 1st – 4th classes;
1,00 – for pupils of 5th – 9th classes;
1,22 – for pupils of 10th – 12th classes;
The volume of allowances for each educational institution is determined and is approved by the administrative-territorial
authorities of the second level through the application of following formula
V = ((A x N + B) + (B1 x S1)) x K + R +I , (2)
where:
V– the volume of allowances for an educational institution;
A– value norm for a “weight coefficient”;
N– number of “weight coefficient” from an educational institution;
B– value norm for an educational institution;
K– the coefficient of administrative-territorial unit, equal with 0,95, which cannot be smaller than this value
(maximum 3%for the component of the administrative-territorial unit of second level and maximum 2% for the fund of
inclusive education);
R– allowances allocated to a concrete educational institution from the component of the administrative-
territorial unit;
I– allowances allocated to a specific institution from the fund of inclusive education.
B1 – the value norm for a branch, equal in value to parameter B;
S1 – the number of branches of an institution;
Further, we will present the calculation of the allowances’ volume for certain educational institutions arising from the
standard costs per pupil and per institution determined for 2022.
For calculation of the allowances’ volume,the following information is necessary:
Number of pupils registered on groups in the 1st – 4th, 5th – 9th and 10th – 12th classes as of October 1, 2021;
Weight coefficient [2]
0,83 – for pupils of 1st – 4th classes;
1,00 – for pupils of 5th – 9th classes;
1,22 – for pupils of 10th – 12th classes;
Parameters of formula for 2022 year:
Parameter A (for a weight pupil) 14 916, 0 Moldovan Lei
Parameter B (for educational institution) 804151, 0 Moldovan lei

From the table data, we observe that School no. 1 and School no. 3 benefit from district component allowances
for covering the expenses for pupils’ transportation and respectively the accommodation of pupils in a hostel.
We mention that according to the Regulation on allocation and use of financial means from component of
administrative-territorial units (Annex no. 2 to Government Decision no. 868 from October 8, 2014) the financial means
can be divided to educational institutions for financing of following expenses among:
Transportation of pupils to and from school; (20% from value norm (A) for each transported pupil, as the case may be
according to effective expenses)
Compensation of expenses of transportation of teachers for coming to educational institutions from other locality than
the residence locality on distances that exceed 2 km in order to carry out educational activities;
Maintenance of pupils in hostels (these expenses will not exceed 100% from value norm (A) for each accommodated
pupil)
Functioning of primary schools and/or primary school – small kindergarten;
Functioning of small schools, which cannot be closed;
Capital expenditures for reparations and purchases of fixed assets.
In the case where the number of “ponderation pupils” in the institution is higher than the one taken into account when
estimating the categorical transfers from the state budget to the budgets of the administrative-territorial units, the
difference will be covered by the administrative-territorial unit.
The primary and general secondary educational institutions in which pupils with special needs are enrolled
benefit from allowances from the inclusive education fund and use them according to the Regulation on the formation
and use of the fund for inclusive education (Annex 3 to GD 868 from October 8, 2014). The authorities of local public
administration of second level are responsible for the organization and functioning of schools’ network and classes
consolidated for facilitation of the access to quality educational services for all pupils and efficient use of financial
means designated to education. The schools’ network is in continuing change due to decreasing of pupils’ number,
which generates the appearance of “small schools”, namely primary schools that have a number equal to or less than 41
“ponderation pupils” and gymnasiums with a number equal to or less than 91 “ponderation pupils”. At the same time,
we must mention that there are small schools that cannot be closed, namely the school near which, within a reasonable
radius of 10-15 km, there is no other similar school with classes at the same level, with places available, with the same
teaching language;
For these educational institutions, the allowances are determined according to the following formulas:
For primary schools with equal or less number of 41 “weight coefficient”
V= N x (N1 x A +B)/N1 x K+R+I, (3)
where:

For ensuring the functioning of small schools (primary schools, kindergartens and small schools that cannot be closed)
from the administrative-territorial units, the financial resources necessary for their activity are allocated until the end of
the budget year. These financial means are divided on the basis of justified calculations for each type of expenses. At the
same time, it should be mentioned that small schools register a budgetary deficit that needs to be covered from financial
means of district component, thus decreasing the allowances designed for other institutions for investments or
otheractivities.
