User Fees: Are they a barrier to access?
Student numbers rise dramatically after fee abolition in some countries

• Kenya (2003): 5.9 to 7.2 million

Malawi Free Primary Education:mixed results
• Pre-FPE less than half of children in school• FPE announced in 1994 • Enrollments went from 1.9m to 3m (50% increase)• Backlog of 13,000 teachers and 38,000 classrooms• Low mobilization of resources• Insufficient external support • Declining levels of community participation• Deteriorating quality –pupils:permanent classroom
119:1• Declining enrollments/low retention -Out of the 1.3
million students who entered grade 1 in 1994, only 300,000 completed the cycle in 2002
• SACMEQ results show that only 30% achieved minimum comprehension in Grade 5 and only 1% adequate level

Uganda Free Primary Education:the power of planning
• UPE announced in 1996• Enrollments increased from 3.1m to 5.3m (70%
increase)• Education emergency that could have resulted in a
backlash against UPE• Increased resource allocation to primary education
(from 9% to more than 26% of total recurrent budget )• Improved sector management• Increased transparency and accountability of spending
at school level (share of funds reaching schools has risen to about 90 percent, from 28 percent in1996)
• Highly productive donor coordination (over $400 million in external support to education since 1997)
• Ensuing Implementation challenges-concerns for deteriorating quality (primary completion rate 61% ); Increased demand for secondary education

Abolishing User Fees- Complexities and Implications
• User Fees include: tuition fees, textbook charges, compulsory uniforms, PTA /community contributions, school-based activity fees (exam fees etc..)
• Represents 16% of household expenditure
• The highest proportion of household spending on educational fees is for levies and dues, not tuition
• Illegal levies remain after fee abolition
![Page 15: User Fees in Primary Education Donald Bundy and Raja Bentaouet Kattan The World Bank Human Development Network June 16, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649f115503460f94c240bf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How the costs added up in Kenya
• 1.2 million additional children• Government – supplemental
budget provision $60 million reallocated from other sectors
• Donor Support: UNICEF- $2.5 million; WB-$50 million in grants; DFID- $6 million
![Page 16: User Fees in Primary Education Donald Bundy and Raja Bentaouet Kattan The World Bank Human Development Network June 16, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649f115503460f94c240bf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
User Fees: Issues in addressing abolition
• Plan carefully as part of an integrated vision for EFA
• Address supply issues
• Put in place adequate revenue substitution (eg capitation grants) that is immediately effective
• Avoid levy substitution
• Provide interim measures to mitigate impact on the poor and vulnerable
