Education; expenditure on education and CBS/OECD indicators
Description
This table gives an overview of expenditure on regular education in the Netherlands.
The government finances the educational institutions and pays for research that they have carried out by universities. The government grants study funding, allowance for school costs, a reimbursement for educational facilities for young disabled people and childcare allowance to households (students and/or parents) and grants to companies and non-profit institutions. In addition, the government receives funds for education from the European Union, contribution to school costs and interest and repayments on student loans, and the government recovers excessively paid student funding.
Households pay tuition and tuition fees, parental contributions and contributions for school activities to educational institutions. In addition, households must purchase books and materials and have costs for using public transport between home and school (if this is not subsidised by the government). In addition, households may have expenditure on homework guidance and tutoring. Interest and repayments on student loans and too much student funding and reimbursement of school costs must also be reimbursed to the government. Households receive childcare allowance, allowance for educational facilities for young disabled people, allowance for school costs, student funding and scholarships made available by companies.
Companies and non-profit institutions incur costs for mentoring trainees and pupils who combine learning and working, contribute to the cost of employee work-related training and spend money on research carried out by colleges and universities. In addition, companies contribute to the childcare allowance and give scholarships to students in higher education. Companies receive subsidies and tax schemes from the government to encourage them to provide apprenticeships and internships and to provide student transport.
Organisations abroad pay educational institutions for conducting research. The European Union provides funds and grants for education to educational institutions and the Dutch government. Foreign governments contribute to international schools in the Netherlands that operate under their nationality.
Statistics on education expenditure are compiled on a cash-based basis. This means that educational expenditure and receipts are allocated to the year in which they are actually spent or received. However, the activity or transaction associated with the issue or receipt may take place in another year.
The table also contains several indicators that are used (inter)nationally to compare and place expenditure on education in a broader context. The indicators are compiled on the basis of provisions of the CBS and/or the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). All figures presented have been calculated according to the OECD’s standardised definitions.
CBS published the revised National Accounts in June 2018. Among other things, GDP and total government expenditure have been revised upwards.
