- The private school market in the GCC countries has grown substantially over the past decade from 1.4 million students to a projected 2.6 million students by 2020.
- Tuition spending has also increased dramatically from $5.2 billion currently to a projected $16.8 billion by 2020.
- Key drivers of growth include population increases, more students enrolling in private schools, and a shift towards higher-fee private school segments. However, challenges remain around teacher shortages, regulations, access to financing, and lack of market data and transparency.

The Recommendation on Financial Literacy was adopted by the OECD Council on 29 October 2020, during the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting. It presents a single, comprehensive, instrument on financial literacy to assist governments, other public authorities, and relevant stakeholders in their efforts to design, implement and evaluate financial literacy policies. It is part of a holistic approach to financial-consumer issues, where financial literacy, together with improved financial access, adequate consumer protection, and regulatory frameworks, are expected to support financial resilience and well-being.

We all know that Student Housing can be a source of revenue for College and University campuses. If the beds are all filled, and the daily costs are managed in an effective way, there is potential to invest in non-operating opportunities. This webinar explored the different ways institutions are allocating their net revenues within Student Housing. We reviewed 2 different housing operations and explored how they performed to their targets and what resources they have to further their programs.
President Donald Trump’s nomination of philanthropist and education advocate Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education thrust Michigan education into the national spotlight. Because DeVos doesn’t have a track record as a government official or school system leader, her work in Michigan on education issues provides some of the only information about her track record and what she might do as Secretary. Yet, DeVos’ critics and her boosters alike are making a variety of claims about Michigan that are confusing and contradictory.
To help clarify some of these questions, a new analysis from Bellwether Education Partners provides a comprehensive look at the education policy landscape in Michigan.

The Funding of School Education - Connecting Resources and LearningEduSkills OECD
Launch Seminar, 26 June 2017, Brussels with Deborah Nusche & Thomas Radinger, OECD, Directorate for Education and Skills
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.
