University Funding Stability, Resource Allocation, and Perceived Educational Quality in Sierra Leone: Survey Data

Description

This dataset contains survey-based observations on university financing, funding stability, resource allocation, and perceived educational quality in Sierra Leone. It comprises 320 survey records from six public and private universities and includes 18 selected variables derived from an original research dataset. The variables describe respondents' demographic and institutional characteristics, principal sources of university funding, and perceptions of financial stability and consistency. Funding sources include government support, tuition fees, donations and endowments, research grants, and corporate sponsorships. Additional variables capture perceptions of overall educational quality, institutional endowment funds, philanthropic contributions, and participation in public–private partnerships (PPPs). The dataset also includes assessments of transparency in financial management, adequacy of funding for research and development, and distribution of financial resources across academic departments. The data represent self-reported perceptions rather than independently verified institutional financial indicators. Original responses have been preserved without imputation or deletion. The dataset is intended to support research on university financial sustainability, institutional funding mechanisms, resource allocation, and their perceived relationships with educational quality in Sierra Leone.
