TweetIf you’re interested in following spending in a particular area of education a good place to start is OpenSpending.org. The site, which looks at public spending, has a section devoted to education.
This is further split by sector:
- Secondary and further
- University
- Education admin
- Extra education services
- Pre-school & Primary
- Misc education
- Education research
- Post-secondary
- Unknown
If you want help finding data you can use the GetTheData.org forums to ask others. There’s also the OpenSpending mailing list where you can ask questions and follow developments in public spending data more generally.
What we don’t know
- What does ‘education admin’ include?
- Why is there no detail below aggregate figures for university spending?
If you can help find out, please let me know in the comments or by emailing paul@helpmeinvestigate.com.
