—Not available.

1 Refers to the mean of the data values for all reporting Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (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.

2 Includes preprimary education.

3 Public institutions only.

4 Excludes occupation-specific education corresponding to that offered at the vocational associate's degree level in the United States.

5 Postsecondary non-higher-education included in both secondary and higher education.

6 Occupation-specific education corresponding to that offered at the vocational associate's degree level in the United States is included under elementary and secondary education instead of under higher education.

NOTE: Includes all expenditures by public and private education institutions (such as administration, instruction, ancillary services for students and families, and research and development) unless otherwise noted.
