Summary
The education financing system at any level of education invariably requires a set of effective mechanisms for generating education revenue and fund allocation formulae, which are methods of allocating funds (Galabawa, 2005; World Bank, 2010). African higher education funding is at a crossroads; many studies indicate that there has been an acute cut in higher education budgets in recent years in universities in the developing world and in those in the developed world (Ishengoma, 2013; Teferra, 2014; World Bank, 2010). These higher education budget cuts are driven by a belief that higher education has low economic returns especially in terms of its contribution to poverty reduction, compared with other levels of education. This has obliged international organizations such as the World Bank to cut their spending on the higher education subsector (Sall & Oanda, 2014; Teferra, 2014)
