The course content was relevant and well-structured, with a good mix of theoretical and practical components. I appreciated the emphasis on real-world case studies and the opportunities to apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios. The course materials were also of high quality, although some of the examples could have been more tailored to the African context. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to colleagues looking for a solid introduction to school finance.
