This adjusts for purchasing power parity (i.e. cost of a desk in Country A might be higher than country B), and is from primary to tertiary education. So when a student goes from primary to secondary to tertiary school (university), how much is spent on him by the government?
Gosh we just do everything ass backwards. Spend the most on healthcare, defense, and education with awful ROI.
I can’t believe this is including university.
At Spain, university is 90% funded by taxes, and individuals pay ~2000 euros/year (or less), A full degree costs much less than 10k.
It’s just impossible that we spend less than USA with the numbers I see people pay for university there.
