NCER is developing a new model for school financing

The National Center for Educational Research, within the World Bank-supported Human Capital Program, is developing a new model for school financing. This process involves:

• A comprehensive analysis of the current funding system to identify shortcomings.

• An in-depth study of Georgian public schools' needs to inform the principles of the new model.

The center is conducting large-scale, multi-component research to create an algorithm tailored to school needs, ensuring equity and accessibility in education.
