FINANCING EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT  

14.1      Education already receives the largest proportion of the recurrent budget which in the 1993/94 financial year amounted to 22% of the total recurrent budget. The implementation of the new recommendations will further increase the cost of providing education. It is therefore necessary that educational financing in future must emphasize cost-effectiveness and cost-sharing.  

14.2      Government will continue to provide basic education free but beyond this level beneficiaries will be called upon to contribute in varying degrees to the cost of their training. Proportion will however be made for deserving students who cannot afford to pay fees to get bursary awards.
