This indicator reflects the average fiscal commitment of a government towards the education of primary students, measuring the total public funds allocated—including operating costs, capital investments, and transfers—divided by the number of students and expressed relative to the country's GDP per capita. By analyzing this percentage, one can assess the prioritization of educational investment within the broader economic context, providing insights into a government's dedication to fostering human capital development. Higher values may signify greater
investment in educational quality and accessibility, while lower figures could indicate potential
challenges in providing adequate educational resources. This metric therefore serves as a crucial barometer for evaluating educational equity and the sustainability of learning environments in relation to economic capacity.
