—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 Education expenditures exclude postsecondary non-higher-education.

³ Elementary and secondary education expenditures include preprimary education (for children ages 3 and older).

⁴ Education expenditures include public institutions only.

⁵ Excludes occupation-specific education corresponding to that offered at the vocational associate's degree level in the United States.

⁶ Postsecondary non-higher-education included in both secondary and higher education.

⁷ The GDP mainland market value is used for Norway.

⁸ Occupation-specific education corresponding to that offered at the vocational associate's degree level in the United States is included in elementary and secondary education instead of in higher education.

⁹ Postsecondary non-higher-education included in 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. Expenditures for International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) level 4 (postsecondary non-higher-education) are included in elementary and secondary education unless otherwise noted. ISCED was revised in 2011. The previous version, ISCED 1997, was used to calculate all data for years prior to 2012 (with the exception of Canada’s 2011 data, which were calculated using ISCED 2011). ISCED 2011 was used to calculate all data for 2012 and later years (with the exception of Chile’s 2012 data, which were calculated using ISCED 1997). Data calculated using ISCED 2011 may not be directly comparable to data calculated using ISCED 1997. Data adjusted to U.S. dollars using the purchasing power parity (PPP) index. Constant dollars based on the Consumer Price Index, prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
