Using Data, Technology, Training, and Behavioral Economics to Improve Efficiency in Education Spending in the Covid-induced Economic Recession in Brazil

implementation

The solution proposed by this project is to develop novel initiatives in public education spending management allowing governments and schools to manage their education budgets more equitably and efficiently. These initiatives include i) a professional development module to equip school leaders and policymakers with practical skills in strategic fiscal management, and ii) the use of behavioral strategies to encourage school leaders to make more efficient resource allocation decisions that benefit the most vulnerable students.
