Analisa a Cooperativa de Ensino da Cidade de Goiás e o Colégio Alternativo, na cidade de Goiás, fundados em virtude da insatisfação de um grupo de pais de camadas sociais médias tanto com a escola pública quanto com a particular. O estudo de caso coletou dados por meio de observação, análise documental, entrevistas e grupos focais. Os resultados apresentam um estabelecimento em que todos os atores participam da gestão. Do ponto de vista pedagógico, alcança eficazmente a apropriação de conteúdos pelos seus alunos para concursos públicos e o acesso à educação superior, conforme as aspirações dos pais. As despesas revelam que a remuneração docente é a mais alta da comunidade, porém a contribuição financeira das famílias é menor que a mensalidade da escola privada. Palavras-chave: ensino médio; ensino fundamental; custos educacionais; gestão participativa; cooperativismo educacional.

When concerns are growing that the elementary education should be fundamental rights, the challenges with financing of education is getting deeper for Nepal. This paper tries to explore the possibilities of bearing educational cost by the state. As elementary education has been made compulsory and free in line with international commitments and theoretical concerns, but the financial provision are not equipped to address the commitments. The present programmes, actions, strategies and budgets mark gaps with each other and with the resources. The existing institutional mechanism does not convince to be optimistic even in near future. The only hope remains with a reform in an institutional set up with committed professionals who can adrenalize the educational governance, which is also full of challenges; or seek alternatives from the local society and early practices.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/av.v4i0.12354Academic Voices Vol.4 2014: 29-36

This study aimed to identify the role of accounting information –in terms of its availability, features and use- in reducing variable educational cost at the University of Saba Region. The study followed the descriptive analytical method by administering a questionnaire to collect data. The population and sample of study was all those responsible for running the cost of teaching at the rector's office, faculties, centers and heads of departments (34 members). Thirty four questionnaires were distributed to them, but only (30) were returned and were valid for analysis, which made (88.23%) of the total number of questionnaires. Major findings revealed that the role of accounting information in reducing educational cost scored a medium rank (59.5%), where its availability scored even less than that (48.8); its features scored a medium rank (59.5%); and the use of such information scored a medium rank as well (59%). The study recommends including paying more attention to accounting systems, as they help in reducing costs; awareness-raising of financial issues among people in charge of running the cost of education; setting up a department for financial analysis and evaluation of the organizational structure; and including financial issues in the process of performance evaluation.
