Education · Educational Policy Analysis

When evaluating the Affordability of educational policy options, which of the following dimensions must be assessed? 1. The extent to which the policy is compatible with the dominant ideology and targets of economic growth. 2. Evaluation of fiscal costs and social costs, including the impact on poorer groups (Private Costs). 3. Consideration of Opportunity Costs, representing benefits foregone by choosing this measure over another. 4. Assessment of Political Costs, especially if the option favors one political group over others. 5. Availability and competency level of human resources necessary for policy implementation (Feasibility).
