Complementary Activity as an Alternative Financial Source of Secondary Schools in the Moravian-Silesian Region

The paper studies the funding for education and the analysis of public expenditures focusing on secondary education. It focuses mainly on the complementary activity of school as an alternative way of funding for education. The 30 chosen secondary schools from the Moravian-Silesian region, divided into three categories according to similar school characteristics (first grammars schools, second business schools and secondary technical schools, third secondary vocational schools), are evaluated. The groups of complementary activity determined for comparing are educational courses, renting of property, catering, providing services, and renting sports grounds. The aim is to assess the gaining of alternative resources from complementary activity with the chosen sample of the 30 schools established by the Moravian-Silesian region by the Kruskal-Wallis test comparing incomes in 2019. The results show that from the point of view of the group of complementary activity, the type of school does not matter so much. According to the individual activities, considerably different anomalies could be observed mainly in catering and sports grounds. By contrast, the most stable values at all types of schools are in renting.
