This is because there are many schools being managed by the churches. The state usually has a role to play when it comes to the financing of such schools. This means that if there are no relations between the church and state then the state will pull out from providing finances to these schools (Closson, & Riggs, 2010).The church alone might not be in a position to fully cater for the finances the schools require. In the next 10 years a complete separation of the church and state will lead to inability of churches to sustain their schools hence eventually lead to the closure of most church schools. The quality of education within church schools will also go down since they will not have enough finances to pay teachers and offer other resources required by the students. Therefore, the future of church -- state relation is a big determinant when it comes to education and education financing. Future trends in court decisions and power over educational financing

The court has the mandate to make decisions and has power on matters regarding education financing. Presently the court has been called to intervene in situations where there is a problem concerning education financing. The court has had to hear and make rulings on the constitutionality of the finance systems found in schools. This trend is expected to go on in future. With this power it means that the court has an influence on decisions that will be made regarding financing of education in the future (Evans, Murray, & Schwab, 2012).

If...

They reconsider these decisions since they are uncertain of whether or not there will be disapproval of their actions. Incase people disapprove this actions then they believe that as per the trend of the courts they will ultimately loose out. The trends in court decisions therefore have a big role to play when it comes to the financing of education in the next ten years.
Conclusion

It is therefore worth noting that the future of education financing is quite uncertain. However with the existence of the kind of issues discussed above then the education sector will certainly lack enough financing. If these trends continue it means that it will be very difficult to be able to secure any financing for the education industry. It is therefore very important to try and come up with solutions of such issues so as to mitigate this problem that looms.
