Education spend per % of GDP is not a good indicator of anything other than just that. the USA spends more per student in actual dollars than any of the developed countries and yet we finish 10th in Math Scores and 9th in Science scores. Those countries that out-perform us for the most part spend less of a % of GDP. Example Japan, Australia, France and South Korea, UK, Canada. |

This show how much gov'ts spend of the available income on education, and not how much per student. Cuba while high may spend less per student then an oil rich county and still rank high. It does show which gov'ts value education more. In asian countries the strong community and family structure gives them the edge that no amount of money can equal.
Education as a factor of the GDP ONLY tells one of how highly education is valued by the political elite.

I'm doing a Master's thesis on the education expenditure , could you supply the data of Turkey? Education spending (% of GDP) or statistic of expenditure would be OK. |

This information appears to come from the CIA World Fact Book which includes data from different years, some up to ten (10) years old. Several progressive Latin American governments have dramatically increased their educational budgets during the last decade therefore comparisons are inaccurate and not dependable. The year of each country's information should be included for this information to have "some" use. Thanks. |

Do Americans need a clearer outline? Japan/Hong Kong/South Korea (the latter being friendly towards a lot of socialist "human capital" answers) spend a SMALLER share of their GDP to education, and come out w/ better results.
This data shows it's not the amount of $ going in, it's the quality of people that are put into the system. Countries w/ the best educational systems are the ones where their teachers command, and earn, the respect of parents and students. |

Another question arises: On how many students is this money spent?
Consider 2 countries from the above list with same percentage and same population and say, they spent $10billion on education. It could be the case that one country spends this money for 10million students and the other for 15million students. In this sense this list doesn't make much sense. |

So this just includes government spending? Where might one find information on combined public and private spending (like we see in health care statistics)? |

According to a 2008 Reuters article, China spends 2.5% GDP.

They out-scored the U.S. (598 vs. 508) in the last international study too.

Do these figures include spending on infrastructure for the Education sector. There is currently a major build programme in the UK callled Building Schools for the future. I would like to know whether the UK figure includes this spending. |

I am a university student doing my senior thesis. Does this organization have any timer-series data from anytime between 1965-2005 for education expenditure for Germany, France, Finland, Portugal, and the UK?
Thank you for any help you can provide. |
