Financing public education in the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

In this article we wanted to inform the reader about the process of financing education in the Republic of Moldova. Although the number of educational institutions and the number of pupils / students is decreasing, the state budget increases the allocations for this branch from year to year. This effort of the state budget must change the content of education by increasing the quality and performance in this area of priority importance for the state. We have demonstrated the increase of budgetary resources by increasing the amounts of value norms for a weighted student and for an institution, starting with 2014, the year in which in the Republic of Moldova pre-university education moved to a new funding methodology - based on standard cost per weighted student.
