The most important results are: o The budget plays a major role in raising the efficiency of financial performance, as it is one of the activities planning tools, as the revenue amounts are distributed among the budget items. o The budget has a role in raising the efficiency of financial performance in the education directorates through its oversight role on performance. Recommendations: o Increasing the powers of education directorates in the budget preparation process by the Ministry of Education in order to achieve a higher level of flexibility in it to meet the needs within the priorities. o Conducting training courses on budget preparation, implementation, and follow-up by the Ministry of Education in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance, and not to be limited to department heads only, but extend to all employees in the directorate's departments and those willing and qualified to prepare budgets.
