Health Care? You're blaming the cost on health care? With 20 students in a class we're spending over $155,000 per classroom for sub-par education. The $6000-$7000 spent on healthcare is nothing. How about the administrative costs? |

I know that some of these countries have Universal Health care. In America part of the high cost of education is providing health care to the teachers and staff at the schools. Is the cost of health care figured in the above stats for other countries? |

WELL, I CAN SAY THAT WHAT I SEE ON THE SCREEN FOR EACH STUDENT DEPENDS ON EACH STUDENT'S LOCATION AND AFFORDABILITY OF PARENTS. IN REAL TRUTH, EDUCATION THESE DAYS IS QUITE EXORBITANT AND MOST PEOPLE ARE DROPPING FROM SCHOOL BECUASE OF MASSIVE INCREASE IN SCHOOL FEES AND OTHER TUITION LEVIES. |

Government spending per student is one indicator of the level of resourcing in schools.
It is calculated by comparing the total expenditure by the number of enrolled students.
In most countries spending is not evenly distributed to all levels of education. To
compare spending in different educational levels see also spending per student at

href=/graph/edu_pub_spe_per_stu_sec_lev>secondary level.
To gain a better overview of educational resourcing, other resourcing indicators such as
Total expenditure compared to GDP and
href=/graph/edu_pup_rat_sec_lev>pupil teacher ratio should also be consulted. |
