National Sheets on Education Budgets in Europe – 2015

19 February 2018

 

Full version EN

Investment in education is one of Europe 2020 strategy's priority areas. However, the lack of up-to-date information in Europe on public funding in education makes it difficult to assess and discuss the current changes in public investment in the education sector, to pinpoint the reasons of these changes, and to analyse budget reforms launched by countries. 

In this context, Eurydice publishes the report on Education Budgets in Europe for 2015 which provides the most recent data on planned education budgets by country. It makes it possible to identify variations in education budgets within a country between 2014 and 2015.

National education budgets are presented by type of expenditure and education level. 

Information covers 26 EU Member States as well as other countries participating in the Eurydice Network.
