Eurydice’s recently published National Sheets on Education Budgets in Europe 2015 reveal the evolution of planned education spending in European countries between 2014 and 2015. While the education sectors in Europe are overwhelmingly publicly funded, the policy debate on education spending at both national and European level is hindered by the fact that internationally comparable figures on education expenditure figures are released with a delay. Indeed, the most recent data on education spending from Eurostat and OECD refer to 2013 and 2012, respectively. By compiling data on education budgets, the European Commission’s Network on education systems and policies aims to fill the gap on recent information on public spending on education. The report covers the budgets of 26 EU countries and other countries participating in the Eurydice network.
