  • UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS)

    School completion rates by country (UNESCO UIS)

    School completion rates (percent) by country/region and year, from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (https://api.uis.unesco.org/api/public/data/indicators). Each row is one (year, area, indicator): the share of young people completing primary (CR.1), lower secondary (CR.2) and upper secondary (CR.3) education. Method: keyless UIS Data API v1; modelled series (CR.MOD.*) excluded. Units: percent. Caveats: survey-based and sparse for many countries; latest 1-2 years provisional and revised; regional aggregates have no iso3 code. Coverage: worldwide, 1990 to 2025, yearly granularity. Provenance: UNESCO Institute for Statistics, CC BY-SA 4.0 — please cite the UIS with the extraction date. Primary key: (indicator_id, area, year). Join keys: iso3 (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly. Sample use: filter indicator_id='CR.2' to compare lower-secondary completion across countries.

  • UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS)

    Government education expenditure by level, % of GDP (UNESCO UIS)

    Government expenditure on education by level of education, as a percentage of GDP, by country/region and year, from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (https://api.uis.unesco.org/api/public/data/indicators). Each row is one (year, area, indicator): pre-primary (XGDP.02.FSGOV), primary (XGDP.1.FSGOV), lower secondary (XGDP.2.FSGOV), upper secondary (XGDP.3.FSGOV), post-secondary non-tertiary (XGDP.4.FSGOV) and tertiary (XGDP.5T8.FSGOV) education. Summing the six levels approximates total public education spending as % of GDP. Method: keyless UIS Data API v1; rows with qualifier UIS_EST/NAT_EST are estimates. Units: percent of GDP. Caveats: secondary-level breakdowns start in 1997; some countries report only ministry-of-education spending, excluding other ministries; latest 1-2 years provisional and revised. Coverage: worldwide, 1970 to 2025 (1997+ for secondary levels), yearly granularity. Provenance: UNESCO Institute for Statistics, CC BY-SA 4.0 — please cite the UIS with the extraction date. Primary key: (indicator_id, area, year). Join keys: iso3 (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly. Sample use: filter indicator_id='XGDP.5T8.FSGOV' to compare tertiary education spending across countries.

Method: keyless UIS Data API v1; modelled series (LR.GALP.*) excluded; rows with qualifier UIS_EST/NAT_EST are estimates. Units: percent. Caveats: survey-based and sparse for many countries; latest 1-2 years provisional and revised; regional aggregates have no iso3 code. Coverage: worldwide, 1970 to 2024, yearly granularity.
