Transforming Education Financing: A Toolkit for Activists

This 2023 version of the Transforming Education Financing Toolkit was adapted at the midpoint of the SDGs, against a backdrop of a world that has significantly changed since the first edition originally published in 2016. It also sets out a bolder vision for financing education influenced by recent agreements at the UN Transforming Education Summit, rooted in ensuring financing can support the delivery of the right to education, and applying a stronger decolonising financing lens onto the redrafting of the toolkit.

The toolkit is aimed at both civil society organisations and teachers’ unions and other education activists. The toolkit details the 4Ss approach (see below) module-by-module. It also complements this with exercises that are signposted throughout and are accessible online. These exercises are intended to be worked through by readers of the toolkit with some suggestions on how to
adapt to workshop settings. They are highlighted throughout with ‘take action’ hyperlinks.

The toolkit is also available in Française , Arabic, Español.

Summary of the 4S framework:
Size: the size of the budget is the total amount that the government has to spend. This depends on how much tax is collected and what economic policies are followed. 
Share: The share of the budget is the percentage of the country's total budget that is spent on education.
Sensitive: Sensitivity of the budget relates to the extent to which budgets and spending address educational inequalities. 
Scrutiny: Scrutiny of the budget helps to ensure that the money allocated arrived where it is needed.
