The study looked at what factors influence how much money the government spends on education in Malawi. They collected data over 31 years and used a type of math called Multiple Linear Regression to analyze it. They found that things like universal primary education and income levels make the government spend more on general and primary education. On the other hand, things like inflation and globalisation can make the government spend less on education. By managing these factors, the government can make sure there is enough money for education in the long run.
