Expenditure on education, % GDP

As of the latest available data, the expenditure on education as a percentage of GDP in Ethiopia is around 4.9% according to figures from the World Bank for the year 2019. This percentage represents the portion of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) that is allocated towards education expenditures.

Investing in education is crucial for the long-term development of a country, as it helps build human capital, enhances productivity, reduces inequalities, and contributes to economic growth and social well-being. By allocating a significant share of its GDP to education, Ethiopia is demonstrating its commitment to improving its education system and fostering the development of its population.

It’s important to note that education expenditure can vary from year to year based on government priorities, economic conditions, and funding availability. Additionally, investments in education encompass various areas such as infrastructure development, teacher training, curriculum enhancements, and efforts to improve access and quality of education across different levels.

If you are looking for the most up-to-date information on Ethiopia’s education expenditure as a percentage of GDP, I recommend referring to recent reports from official sources such as the Ministry of Education in Ethiopia or international organizations like the World Bank or the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
