Enhancing the Transparency of Schools' Financial Management

      As from the 2012/13 school year, DSS schools have started to report the financial information in a new template to be incorporated in their School Report under the School Development and Accountability Framework. They are required to upload the School Report onto their schools' website three months after the end of a school year, i.e. before end-November.
