For example, as referred to earlier, in recent years, enrolment trends have led some surpluses in CEIP’s budget to be transferred to CETP’s budget. There are no stakeholders voicing major criticisms about the approach followed by education councils to distribute resources across schools. While the distribution criteria are not made public and information on the amount of public resources each school receives is not disclosed, there is the perception that education councils distribute resources so as to ensure some horizontal equity across individual schools (i.e. similar resources are given to schools with similar type of provision).
