  1. It’s that low by design in Turkey. Because the government damn well knows that their vote rates go significantly down the more educated the person is.

    I’m not joking there literally was party official who said: Our votes go down as the the education levels goes up lol.

  2. Belgium has a high education because everyone gets their turn running the country eventually.

  3. It’s almost like a well educated public equals high wages and high standard of living, “that’s crazy dude”.

  4. Judging by the number of comments, Europeans are not particularly interested in education.

  5. Is this spending by taxation, or overall spending? What I mean is, in countries where people finance their own education, would this be included in % of GDP spent?

  6. It’s amazing how much we spend on education, yet it’s becoming more shit every year

  7. Sweden is 2nd highest? I work in school and we don’t have enough resources…

  8. In Sweden it’s more like giving away money to private school companies and not so much robust education.

  9. california is at parity with france here but i still have to pay tens of thousands for my engineering degree for some reason huh

  10. For Romania is wrong, in not that color, 2% max. Romanian guvernment suck ass

  13. Lol i saw the 0-3% and thought “pathetic”. Then i realisiert the highest number is 6%. Wtf?

  14. Imagine in Belgium they spend 6% of their GDP and the school system is still collapsing…
    The number of school drop-out is rising, and there fewer and fewer teachers… We’re heading into a crisis.

  15. Welp Bulgaria, congrats on not being the last place in the EU on this statistic.
