Background of the Study
In the educational sector, managing budgets efficiently is crucial for ensuring that resources are allocated to priority areas, such as teacher salaries, infrastructure, and student welfare. The use of effective cost control techniques ensures that financial resources are used effectively to enhance educational outcomes.
Cost control techniques like zero-based budgeting, variance analysis, and cost-benefit analysis can help educational institutions monitor their spending, reduce waste, and allocate resources more efficiently. Despite their importance, many educational institutions still struggle with cost control due to inadequate financial planning and budgeting practices. This study explores the various cost control techniques used in managing educational sector budgets and their effectiveness.

The lack of effective cost control techniques exacerbates these problems, hindering the overall development of the sector. This study investigates the cost control techniques employed in the educational sector and their impact on budget management.
