This indicator quantifies the proportion of ongoing financial resources allocated to primary public educational institutions relative to their total operating expenses. It specifically focuses on expenditures that are essential for the day-to-day functioning of these institutions within a given fiscal year. Notably, it encompasses costs related to employee salaries, essential teaching materials, administrative functions, and ancillary services, while excluding financial support provided directly to students and any transfers outside the institution. By highlighting the recurring nature of these expenditures, this measure provides valuable insights into the sustainability and prioritization of funding for primary education, which is vital for fostering an effective learning environment and ensuring that educational institutions can meet their immediate operational needs.
