How much will rural school costs increase in the future and what can policies do about it?
Dr Ana Isabel Moreno Monroy is an economist at the Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities at the OECD.
This presentation describes a method to estimate primary and secondary education cost across locations with varying degrees of urbanisation. The first step involves simulating school placements using a spatial access optimisation algorithm that relies on road networks and population grids. The second step estimates costs based solely on student counts by using the distributional properties of actual school expenditures of schools in England. The authors illustrate how the method can be used to understand the impact of demographic change on education provision costs across human settlements under different policy scenarios.
