1Includes both government and private expenditures. Includes expenditures on both public and private institutions unless otherwise noted.
2The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) average refers to the mean of the data values for all reporting OECD countries, to which each country reporting data contributes equally. The average includes all current OECD countries for which a given year's data are available, even if they were not members of OECD in that year.
3Due to revised data sources and methodology, expenditure data from 2018 onward are not comparable with data from earlier years.
4Elementary and secondary education expenditures exclude postsecondary nondegree programs. Postsecondary nondegree figures are treated as negligible.
5Elementary and secondary education expenditures include preprimary education (for children ages 3 and older).
6Includes public institutions only.
7Methodology has been revised due to a large GDP increase in 2015, resulting in a break in trend expenditure data for years prior to 2015.
8Postsecondary nondegree programs included in both secondary and postsecondary programs.
9Due to educational structural reform in school year 2017-18, ISCED 1 to 3 data for 2017 are not comparable to earlier years of data.
NOTE: All education expenditure data in this table were calculated using International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) 2011. Expenditures for ISCED level 4 (postsecondary nondegree programs) are included in elementary and secondary education unless otherwise noted. Data adjusted to U.S. dollars by the OECD using the purchasing power parity (PPP) index. Constant dollars are based on national gross domestic product deflators and PPP indexes, available on the OECD database cited in the SOURCE note below. Data are collected for the financial year ending in the reported year for each country. For more information on the financial year reported by OECD countries, see Annex Table X1.3 here: https://stat.link/3ha7ok. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. This table includes only data that had been validated for consistency and accuracy by OECD and the relevant country as of January 19, 2023.
