The line graph illustrates the proportion of GDP expansion in three distinct areas – education, health, and roads and railways – in the previous years and the projected figures for the coming years.
Overall, the amount of spending on education and health has followed an opposing trend up to the present time, and this trend is expected to continue in the future.
In 2000, the percentage of spending on health was 4%, which gradually increased and reached 6.5% in 2020. It is estimated that this trend will continue and reach a peak of 7.5% by 2025. In contrast, spending on education was the highest in 2000, but it has decreased slightly since then. Additionally, the government’s spending on education reached 4% in 2018 and is expected to remain stable for the next five years, with hopes that it will continue to fall.
The figures for spending on roads and railways rose from 4% to 4.5% in 2015 when the education sector also shared the same percentage. However, spending on roads and railways then dramatically declined and reached an all-time low of 3%.
