European Household Expenditure on Pre-Primary and Primary Education by Country

In 2023, the highest per capita spending on pre-primary and primary education among European households was in Cyprus and Iceland. France and the Czech Republic saw significant year-on-year growth at approximately 14.87%. Noteworthy growth was also observed in Slovakia and Lithuania. In contrast, Iceland and Serbia experienced declines. Over the last five years, the average annual growth in household expenditure has been moderate, indicating varying prioritization and financial capacity across countries.

Looking forward, trends to watch include potential increases in northern and eastern European countries due to improving economic conditions. Innovations and policy changes in education funding can also shift spending patterns across Europe.
