COMMENTARY     

Chris
20th June 2009 		I think this graph shows how ineffectiv a privat educational system is: The US is the country which spends the most money on education while having one of the least educated populations of all western countries.

9th June 2005 		Kindly provide the statistics of India and China on this.

31st January 2005 		Educational spending is one indicator of the level of resourcing in schools. Comparing

educational spending with GDP can be an indicator of the importance of education according

to government policy makers. However this indicator can be misleading if the GDP is

significantly higher or lower than average.



To compare priorities for government spending, comparison should be made with spending in

other areas such as military,

href=/graph/eco_soc_sec_exp_as_of_gdp>social security.



To gain a better overview of educational resourcing, other resourcing indicators such as

goverment spending per student and
href=/graph/edu_pup_rat_sec_lev>pupil teacher ratio should also be consulted.



This statistic states the total government spending across all areas of education. In

most countries spending is not evenly distributed to all sectors of education. To compare

spending in different educational sectors see also spending per student at
href=/graph/edu_pub_spe_per_stu_pri_lev>primary,
href=/graph/edu_pub_spe_per_stu_sec_lev>secondary and
href=/graph/edu_pub_spe_per_stu_ter_lev>tertiary level.
