Education is an indispensable public service for the country's development. In order to have access to quality education, more must be invested, especially in basic education, since it is the basis for educational development; however, not as much is invested compared to other OECD countries. In recent years, the basic education budget as a percentage of GDP has shown a downward trend from 2.3% to 1.9%. Similarly, in the results of the last PISA test, Mexicans were positioned below the average, reflecting low performance compared to the OECD average. The objective of this research is to analyze whether public spending on basic education in Mexico has an impact on the quality of education at this level, measured in terms of the PISA test. It is also based on the trend method to analyze variations in spending. This contributes to the fact that due to the decreasing trend of the indicators, the competent authorities in Mexico design new policies that meet the needs of the new generations and lead to an increase in the performance of young Mexicans and increase the degree of educational quality in basic education.

The drive to improve basic education delivery in Nigeria has been given tremendous impetus in recent years. The goal of basic education can only be realised through provision of inclusive, equitable and quality education; several indicators have shown that authorities jettison quality to focus in increasing access. This paper, therefore, reviews the provision and delivery of basic education in Kano state. Specifically, the paper revealed how increasing enrolment in affects the efforts to improve the quality of education in the state. While the government initiatives made significant differences by increasing access to education of children who would have been denied schooling, quality indicators which include teachers-pupil ratio, students’ academic achievement, attrition and completion rates have stagnated at best or dropped. Efforts to ensure and maintain quality education in the state are reported to face serious challenges, including mainly inadequate funding that will ensure provision of essential teaching and learning facilities and insufficient trained and competent teachers. Finally, the paper recommends among others that, adequate funding and ensuring judicious management of the funds, competent teachers should be engaged and their welfare be adequately improved, as well as the supply and maintenances of teaching and learning facilities. Sincerity in the implementations of these and other recommendations would positively affect the over 3.5 million children in basic education, encouraging further enrolment and improving the quality of education they receive.

The development of education and science is a priority for Russian state policy. Global trends define the main goals of the Russian higher school modernization. However, these also identify the need to overcome a number of contradictions in Russia’s national higher-education system. Pedagogical, or teacher-training, education is of special importance in the development of the entire educational system in the country. Quality education at all steps – preschool, primary, secondary (general and professional) and higher – depends mainly on the quality of pedagogical education. The modern market of educational services recognizes high quality of education and competences of students as the only advantage point for an academic institution over its competitors. Quality is the only universal commodity in the world market that increases the value of all other goods and services. The authors refer to the category of quality management in relation to higher pedagogical education, and describe the key principles of the system of quality assurance applied at Southern Federal University.
