Educational resource management is a fascinating area of study because there is such a wide variety of practice, not only between developed and developing countries but also between countries that have similar living standards. The importance a country attaches to education is reflected in the proportion of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) it spends on primary and secondary education. In 2017 the Organisation for Co-operation and Economic Development (OECD, 2018) average was 3.2 per cent, varying between 1.8 per cent in Russia and 4.7 per cent in Costa Rica. The OECD annual publication is a rich source of information on all aspects of resource use in different countries. Countries also differ in the proportion of their education budget they allocate to the major sectors: pre-school, primary, secondary, tertiary and higher education. They differ too in the relative importance they place on public and private funding of education and in the roles that public and private sector institutions play in providing education. Further differences arise in the relative amounts that are allocated to the various types of educational resources, such as teachers, support staff, learning materials, computer and other equipment, and buildings.All of us are faced with limited resources, and this is particu-larly so for educational institutions, especially those in developing countries where public sources of funding are very limited and even poor parents are often required to pay school fees. It is therefore imperative that educational organizations manage their finances and resources efficiently in order to secure the maximum learning benefit for students. While teachers and parents generally have no doubts that extra spending, more resources and smaller classes produce better results, the academic research on this issue has not confirmed these beliefs unequiv-ocally (Leva?i? and Vignoles, 2002) and researchers disagree about the effects of resources on learning as explored by Schleicher (2019) in an investigation of the international PISA (Programmes for International Student Assessment) results. Apart from problems of data and methods, one important reason for this disagreement is that the efficiency of educational organizations varies. So, if resources are not managed efficiently, an increase in spending does not necessarily mean an increase in student learning.
