The pie charts illustrate the global population by region and public education spending in 2000.
Overall, the Asian Pacific region contains the largest share of the world’s population, while others contribute the least. In contrast, high school expenditures are the most significant, and public spending on further education took the lowest share in 2000.
Europe shared 11% of the world’s population and invested 26% in secondary school education; on the other hand, Africa was 7% of the global population but spent 33% on high school almost slightly higher than Europe’s secondary school expenditures. Asia is a large part of the global population, and half of the population in the Asian region spent on primary education, whereas only 7% spent on further education.
Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and the Middle East contributed 9%, 7%, and 6% of the world’s population, respectively. In contrast, expenditures on university and higher education were quite lower, at 8% and 7%.
