This master’s thesis is on the treatment of primary school education with the
emphasis on efficiency in Slovenia and in Finland. A research challenge presents
Finland, which has already been a current topic for many years in the field of
education, and has one of the most efficient education systems in the world. The
purpose of this master’s thesis is, with the help of public expenditure on education,
to compare the efficiency of the primary school system in Slovenia to the one of
Finland.
The aim of this thesis is to show, with the results of research, the efficiency of
primary school educational systems in selected countries of the European Union
and to find out which system of primary school education is the most efficient.
Many research methods have been used in this thesis, such as description
methods, compilations, analysis of primary and secondary resources, comparisons
and statistic methods. In the research, a comparison was made between the level
of public spending for a few years on both education systems. In the foundation of
the answers to the promised research questions, the researched efficiency of
primary school systems in Slovenia and Finland was the desired goal.
The findings have shown that the share of public spending on primary education in
Slovenia is higher in comparison to Finland. This means that Slovenia invests
relatively more financial funds in the funding of primary school education than
Finland does. The comparison between Slovenia and Finland has shown that the
amount of public expenditure mostly doesn’t result in the efficiency of primary
school education.
The solution is the teachers of the primary school, the pupils, the parents, planners
of public politics, researchers and everything, that has been chosen to be
thematically interesting. The public planners can, with the help of interesting
research, quickly gain and insight into the financing and efficiency of the primary
school education systems in Slovenia and Finland.In their work, they can maybe
gain ideas and guidelines when deciding on the level of public spending and on
the improvement on the efficiency of primary school education in the future.
