本文分析了发展中国家的教育成本和融资问题。它主要侧重于撒哈拉以南非洲，并在其中侧重于西非法语国家。在评价了国际比较中使用的教育费用数据之后，本文着重讨论了非洲国家的特殊情况，其中大多数国家在努力实现教育目标方面遇到严重的财政困难。它审查了在现有预算范围内降低单位成本以增加入学率和利用私人教育资金来源的潜力。总的结论是，虽然最贫穷国家的财政前景相当暗淡，但可以比目前更有效地利用现有预算。单位成本往往可以大大降低，对教育补贴模式的一些改变可以在现有预算范围内大幅度扩大教育。
This paper analyzes issues in the costs and financing of education in developing countries. It focuses primarily on sub - Saharan Africa, and within that on Francophone West Africa. After evaluating the educational cost data used in international comparisons, the paper focuses on the special situation of African countries, most of which experience severe financial constraints in their effort to achieve educational goals. It examines the potential for reducing unit costs as a way of increasing enrollment within an existing budget and tapping private sources of financing for education. The overall conclusion is that although the financial prospects are rather bleak in the poorest countries, existing budgets could be used much more efficiently than at present. Unit costs can often be significantly reduced, and some changes in the pattern of subsidies to education may allow for a sizeable expansion of education within existing budgets.
