In the framework of human capital development, this thesis proposal seeks to investigate the effects of curricular relevance, financial resource allocation, and government involvement on student learning outcomes. The goal of the study is to comprehend how financial resources allocated to education systems, curriculum design, and government regulations relate to one another and how these elements affect student learning outcomes. This study uses a mixed-methods approach to combine document analysis, qualitative interviews, and quantitative data analysis in order to provide a thorough grasp of the subject. It is impossible to exaggerate the role that high-quality education plays in developing human capital. When it comes to developing educational policy and putting measures into place that improve educational results, governments are essential. Analyzing how government involvement affects student learning outcomes in human capital development is the primary goal of this research. This research aims to investigate the impact of different intervention tactics on student performance and their success by looking at the policies, programs, and initiatives put in place by governments. Another important component of education that has a direct impact on student learning results is the relevancy of the curriculum. Investigating how curriculum relevance can improve student learning outcomes is the study's second goal. In order to determine how well-designed and pertinent curricula contribute to the development of human capital, this research will look at how the curriculum aligns with the demands of society and the labor market. This study will also look into the variables that affect curriculum design and the difficulties in maintaining curriculum relevance. The distribution of financial resources has a significant impact on the effectiveness and quality of educational systems. Examining how financial resources are distributed in education and how it affects student learning results is the third goal of this research project. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency and equity of resource allocation by examining the allocation of financial resources among various schools and areas. Additionally, taking into account elements like infrastructure, instructional materials, and teacher-student ratios, it will investigate the connection between the distribution of financial resources and student performance. By tackling these goals, the study hopes to offer insightful analysis and suggestions for sensible government action, curriculum creation, and financial resource distribution that will enhance student learning outcomes and promote the growth of human capital. The results of this study will add to the body of knowledge by improving our comprehension of the intricate interactions that occur between educational systems' financial resource distribution, curriculum relevance, and governmental regulations.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0471/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
