The rise in educational demands is associated with increase in government expenditure. However, government either adopts contractionary or expansionary fiscal measures to stimulate growth in the economy. The extent to which fiscal policy changes impacts the quality of education (enrolment rates, dropout rates, pass rates and survival rates) was investigated in this study. The study investigated the nature and magnitude of the relationship between government spending, (as measured by yearly expenditure on operational, capital projects and teachers' deployment expenses) and the quality of education in Khomas Region public schools. The study adopted a correlational research design to test the strength of the relationship between quality of education and government spending. Data was collected through questionnaires and also obtained from empirical secondary data sources. An OLS regression model was used to test the relationship between government spending and education quality using the SPSS. The research found out there is a strong positive correlation between government expenditure and the quality of education. It was found that any one unit increase in the government expenditure has a corresponding increase in the quality of education. The study concluded that government should increase per capita educational expenditure to maintain a high quality of education because fiscal policy significantly affects the quality of educationenSustainable Developmental GoalsFiscal policyKhomas region government schoolsPrimary and secondary educationNamibiaUniversity of NamibiaThesis
