! Interpret data with caution (estimates are unstable).
1 Per student expenditures are calculated based on public and private full-time-equivalent (FTE) enrollment figures for the 2004–05 school year and on current expenditures and capital outlays from both public and private sources, where data are available. |
| 2 Total includes elementary/secondary, postsecondary, and postsecondary nontertiary expenditures with the exception of Italy, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, and the United States, countries where data for postsecondary nontertiary are either not applicable or not available. Data for Turkey were not reported and postsecondary data for Luxembourg were not reported. |
| 3 Includes all tertiary-level data (ISCED levels 5A, 5B, and 6). Also, includes postsecondary nontertiary data for Canada, Denmark, Iceland, and Japan. |
| 4 Includes postsecondary nontertiary data (International Standard Classification of Education [ISCED] level 4) for Australia, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Slovak Republic, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Also includes preprimary data (ISCED level 0) for Canada, Greece, and Luxembourg. |
| 5 Data are for 2004. Postsecondary only includes public academic institutions. |
| 6 Public institutions only. |
| 7 Luxembourg data are excluded from percentages because of anomalies with respect to their GDP per capita data (large revenues from international finance institutions distort the wealth of the population). |
| NOTE: Education expenditures are from public revenue sources (governments) and private revenue sources. Private sources include payments from households for school-based expenses such as tuition, transportation fees, book rentals, or food services, as well as funds raised by institutions through endowments or returns on investments. Purchasing power parity (PPP) indices are used to convert other currencies to U.S. dollars. Within-country consumer price indices are used to adjust the PPP indices to account for inflation because the fiscal year has a different starting date in different countries.
