In real terms, public spending on education grew at an average annual rate of 10% between 2004 and 2013. This reflects the growing importance of education as an area of public investment and a clear commitment of national authorities to improve resourcing in education. Indeed, the government which took office in 2015 set the ambitious target of converging to a public spending on education of 6% of GDP by the end of its term (INEEd, 2015).
