Of the economies in the World Bank's latest release, Micronesia, Fed. Sts. has the highest adjusted savings, education expenditure (% of GNI) (23.63% in 2021) and French Polynesia the lowest (0.5% in 2021).
What this measures
Education expenditure refers to the current operating expenditures in education, including wages and salaries and excluding capital investments in buildings and equipment. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI) which is the total income earned by all residents within an economic territory during an accounting period. It is equal to gross domestic product plus earned income receivable from abroad minus earned income payable abroad.
Limitations: Public education expenditures are considered an addition to savings. However, because of the wide variability in the effectiveness of public education expenditures, these figures cannot be construed as the value of investments in human capital. A current expenditure of $1 on education does not necessarily yield $1 of human capital. The calculation should also consider private education expenditure, but data are not available for a large number of countries.
Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
