Abstract

Since the 21st century, all countries in the world have continuously increased investment in education, increased spending on education, and adjusted the optimal allocation of educational resources in order to enhance their international competitiveness. This paper selects and analyzes annual spending per student on educational institutions for all services and annual expenditure per student on educational institutions for different types of services which are both in the four levels of primary education, secondary education, post-secondary non-tertiary education and tertiary education from 19 countries in the OECD in 2014. The results showed that: most countries put their funds into tertiary education, while neglecting post-secondary non-tertiary education; the funding investment for primary education and secondary education are huge. How to make a reasonable and optimal allocation of education expenditure is an important issue which is worth of attention.
