Education in Africa: Where does the money go?

Over the last decade public spending on education in Africa has increased by more than 6% each year. The article shows details government spending on education in each of the 45 sub-Saharan African countries. It presents the most up-to-date data on how much is spent on different levels of education, and digs out historical data to track trends over the last 10 years. The report also presents figures on the qualifications and salaries of teachers, the running costs of schools, and the provision of textbooks. It is nice to look at another country and see how their funding for education is distributed. Especially in Africa.
