<p>The Department uses internationally comparable data from the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) to assess how our funding compares internationally.

per full-time equivalent student, for upper secondary programmes and all secondary
programmes. The UK has higher total government expenditure on primary and secondary
educational institutions per student than all G7 countries bar the US. The expenditure

a breakdown for upper secondary programmes and all secondary programmes, is available
in Table C1.1 of the OECD’s Education at a Glance 2018 publication at the following
