The global economic crisis halted, and in some cases reversed, a trend of increased government spending on education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simultaneously, school closures and remote learning made education less accessible to children from disadvantaged households. Experts predict the long-term losses for the pandemic generation could equal a 10% drop in lifetime earnings in low- to middle-income countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The World Bank perhaps says it best: \u201cEducation is a human right, a powerful driver of development, and one of the strongest instruments for reducing poverty and improving health, gender equality, peace, and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We examine the costs of education around the world \u2014 and the potential costs of underfunding education \u2014&nbsp;in these eight infographics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global learning crisis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/thedocs.worldbank.org\/en\/doc\/e52f55322528903b27f1b7e61238e416-0200022022\/original\/Learning-poverty-report-2022-06-21-final-V7-0-conferenceEdition.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the World Bank<\/a>, the learning poverty rate, defined as the share of children who cannot read a simple text by age 10, may have climbed as high as 70% in low- and middle-income countries in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world was already facing a learning crisis before the pandemic, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/topic\/education\/publication\/state-of-global-learning-poverty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nearly 57%<\/a> of children in low- and middle-income countries unable to read and understand simple stories. Then, Covid-19 erased many gains made since 2000 in reducing learning poverty. The World Bank <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/news\/immersive-story\/2022\/09\/16\/learning-in-crisis-prioritizing-education-effective-policies-to-recover-lost-learning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reports<\/a> that in rural Karnataka, India, only 16% of third-grade students could perform simple subtraction in 2020, compared to nearly 24% in 2018.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the onset of the pandemic, many countries reduced public spending on education. This effect was more pronounced among low- and lower-middle-income countries, whose share of spending on education fell more than higher-income countries. This may further amplify the gap in learning outcomes, as well as later earnings and economic growth, between low- and high-income countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 40% of low- and lower-middle-income countries already spend less on education than international organizations recommend. The commonly used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\/articles\/education-2030-framework-action-be-formally-adopted-and-launched\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">benchmarks<\/a> for education spending are 4% to 6% of GDP, or 15% to 20% of total government expenditure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong>Government spending on education by region<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-hierarchy\" data-src=\"visualisation\/14303869\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The World Bank found that after the pandemic, upper- and higher-middle-income countries were able to recover from the deprioritization of education spending in government budgets, but low- and lower-middle-income countries weren\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Household spending on education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a government does not spend significantly on education, citizens have to make up the gap. Households in low- and lower-middle-income economies contribute 39% to total education spending, while households in higher-income countries contribute just 16%. That&#8217;s because in high-income economies, governments contributed more than 80% of total education spending, with households making up the rest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Global education spending by source, in billions of dollars<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-hierarchy\" data-src=\"visualisation\/14532696\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Global education spending by source, in percentages<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-hierarchy\" data-src=\"visualisation\/14532853\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Between 2009 and 2020, households in most low-income countries spent about 3.2% of their total expenditures on education. In sub-Saharan Africa, however, that share increased from 5% in 2012 to 7.8% in 2016.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also significant variations in education expenditure across the wealth spectrum in low-income countries. The World Bank\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/gem-report\/en\/2022-efw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Education Finance Watch 2022<\/a> report found that households in the richest quintile spent an average of 4.2% of their total budget on education, and those in the poorest quintile spent 2.4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many households in low- and lower-middle-income economies end up saving and borrowing to pay for education at all levels. One in six households in low- and middle-income economies save to pay school fees, and one in 12 households borrow to pay school fees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The World Bank\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/publication\/globalfindex\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Findex Database 2021<\/a> found that for 13% of people surveyed, the biggest worry was paying for school fees.

Not only did this affect their ability to afford schooling costs, it also affected remote and in-person student attendance, causing further learning losses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Education is linked not only to increased earnings, but also to health, gender equality, long term economic growth and social cohesion. Globally, wages <a href=\"https:\/\/wol.iza.org\/articles\/estimating-return-to-schooling-using-mincer-equation\/long\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increase by 9.7%<\/a> for every additional year of schooling completed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Earnings increase per additional year of education&nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-hierarchy\" data-src=\"visualisation\/14501525\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Education also helps protect against economic risks like the pandemic and the 2008 global recession.

And those losses disproportionately impacted children in low-income economies, children in low-income households, girls, students with disabilities and students living in rural areas or technology deserts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/news\/immersive-story\/2022\/09\/16\/learning-in-crisis-prioritizing-education-effective-policies-to-recover-lost-learning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learning losses<\/a> and increased unemployment in the pandemic years, the average child in low- and middle-income economies could lose 10% of their expected average annual earnings over a lifetime if no corrective action is taken. The World Bank estimates this generation of primary and secondary students in low- and middle-income countries could lose a total of $11 trillion in lifetime earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless governments act aggressively, these learning losses could set back global economic growth by years \u2014 and further exacerbate economic disparities between countries. The World Bank suggests implementing ambitious and aggressive learning recovery programs to combat this.
