---Not available. \1\Includes preprimary and other expenditures not classified by level. \2\Includes public subsidies to households attributable for educational institutions and includes direct expenditure on educational institutions from international sources. \3\Data are for Flemish Belgium only. \4\Direct expenditure on higher education institutions from international sources exceeds 1.5 percent of all public expenditure. \5\Public subsidies to households not included in public expenditure. \6\Post secondary non-higher education included in both secondary and higher education. \7\Data for 1985 are for the former West Germany. NOTE: Direct public expenditure on educational services includes both amounts spent directly by governments to hire educational personnel and to procure other resources, and amounts provided by governments to public or private institutions, or households. Figures for 1985 also include transfers and payments to private entities, and thus are not strictly comparable with later figures. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
