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.
Some countries didn’t even pay enough for data lol
Belgium has a high education because everyone gets their turn running the country eventually.
Us Turks are built different 🥱
It’s almost like a well educated public equals high wages and high standard of living, “that’s crazy dude”.
Pink Floyd opening riff echoing from the Balkans.
Judging by the number of comments, Europeans are not particularly interested in education.
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?
It’s amazing how much we spend on education, yet it’s becoming more shit every year
No really a relevant metric to measure education by. Ireland for example has one of the worlds highest attainment of third level education. But this infograph makes it look like they spend little on education.
Sweden is 2nd highest? I work in school and we don’t have enough resources…
In Sweden it’s more like giving away money to private school companies and not so much robust education.
Germany and Italy: no kids
california is at parity with france here but i still have to pay tens of thousands for my engineering degree for some reason huh
Spending on education is going to be lower in countries with lower standards of living just due to [Baumol’s Cost Disease](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect) – simply due to higher labor costs.
For Romania is wrong, in not that color, 2% max. Romanian guvernment suck ass
Good thing is there isn’t single school and thus no schoolkids in Vatican

Lol i saw the 0-3% and thought “pathetic”. Then i realisiert the highest number is 6%. Wtf?
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.
I see, so that explains the Irish
Scandinavia being a Mary Sue again
Proud Swede here 🇸🇪
Welp Bulgaria, congrats on not being the last place in the EU on this statistic.
