Irish government spending on education has fallen from 3.6% to 2.9% of GDP, warns OECD.
“This is less than the OECD average of 4.9%”
Education at a Glance is an annual report produced by the OECD looking at the state of education around the world.
The report concluded that globally, educational attainment and labour market outcomes are improving, but more is needed on equality of opportunities.
The OECD says it hopes the report provides policymakers with evidence to improve the effectiveness of their education systems.
