Deadline for Applications: 1 July 2013
The Professional Certificate in Education Finance, Economics and Planning is designed to address one of the critical challenges that faces many developing countries in meeting their education goals, namely, their ability to align policy goals with appropriate implementation plans and budgets that are based on demographic and financial projections and linked to budget forecasts, including, revenue and expenditure data.
The programme is targeted at officials and professionals pursuing a management career in government, parastatals, non-governmental organisations and training institutions within the SADC region who want to deepen their understanding of, as well develop their technical and analytical skills in, the theory and practice of education finance, economics and planning. It is based on a problem-centred approach, which enables linking the theoretical, analytical and technical tools of the trade to the real issues that confront the participants in their day-to-day work, thus building on the participants’ existing skills and experience.
The programme is a joint initiative of the SADC Education Policy Support Initiative Centre at the Wits School of Education, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (Wits SADC-EPSI) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Germany.
