Description The aim of the article is to describe the indicators determining the efficiency of public spending on education, to identify problems related to the evaluation of efficiency, to compare education funding in the European Union countries, to characterise public spending on education in Latvia as well as to provide suggestions for further improvement of efficiency. It is concluded that there are a number of indicators characterising the efficiency of education financing, but there is no unified approach to their evaluation, and it should be taken into account that efficiency indicators are continuously influenced by environmental factors. The author points out that financing amount per one learner in different types of education allows assessing the efficiency of public spending. It is proposed to pay special attention to the issue of special education financing in Latvia, by evaluating possibilities to improve the financing principles of special education and increasing its efficiency.
Straipsnio tikslas yra aprašyti rodiklius, lemiančius viešųjų išlaidų švietimui efektyvumą, identifikuoti problemas, susijusias su efektyvumo įvertinimu, palyginti švietimo finansavimą Europos Sąjungos šalyse, charakterizuoti viešųjų išlaidų skyrimą švietimui Latvijoje, taip pat pateikti pasiūlymus dėl tolesnio efektyvumo gerinimo. Išvadoje teigiama, kad yra daug rodiklių, kurie charakterizuoja švietimo finansavimo efektyvumą, tačiau nėra vieno būdo tai įgyvendinti. Svarbu pažymėti, kad efektyvumo rodikliams dažnai įtakos turi išoriniai veiksniai. Autorė pažymi, kad finansavimas, skiriant lėšas vienam mokiniui pagal skirtingus švietimo tipus, leidžia pasiekti švietimo finansavimo efektyvumą. Siūloma ypatingą dėmesį skirti specialiajam ugdymui Latvijoje, įvertinant galimybes pagerinti finansavimo principus šiame ugdyme ir taip pagerinti jo efektyvumą.
