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.
