Editor's Notes
- #3 In the absence of knowing components of exp – many unanswered questions... Dont take space on Methodology – the detailed document is available Analytical questions does this lead one too? What does this mean?- leading into Rules vs Responsiveness How much money comes from centre how much comes from states – purse strings...this is the first step in trying to understand that.. Next ppt will go into it in more detail... Starting point of PAISA District survey... Total Time: 10 minutes
- #5 Graph of state-wise public exp. on EE per student (excl. TN, MH, KE, KA AS) – tremendous inter-state variation –next slide ->private expenditure per student
- #6 What can we show here? –% students in private schools and private exp. on those who go to private schools what does this indicate?
- #7 Ratio of public to private exp? an important finding : - government is spending more per student as compared to the private exp. implications? With the exception of Punjab, WB, Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha – what drives govt exp - The next slide can be : (a) what drives it? share of teacher / teacher salary in overall budget (preferably, exp);
- #8 how is public expenditure being spent? Most of money tied to teacher salaries –
- #9 GoI through SSA has become an important player – even more so for the poorer states – further state funds are mostly tied up in teacher salaries. The above shows budgets. Can we show expenditure? Are the trends more prominent in expenditure?
- #10 Higher ther per capita income, lower the exp. on EE as a % of state GDP – what does that mean? Can this offer any idea of what would happen due to 14th FC reco? Mwhere do we put this slide? In the next presentation, we will see how this breaks down in practice…
