This IKR entry contains one infographic in English, Sinhala (අධ්යාපනය සඳහා රජය විසින් අඩුම මුදලක් වැය කරනු ලබන දකුණු ආසියාවේ රට ශ්රී ලංකාවයි) and Tamil (இலங்கை அரசாங்கத்தின் கல்விக்கான செலவினம் தெற்காசியாவிலேயே மிகக் குறைவானதாகும்). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | In 2022, Sri Lanka’s government, both provincial and central, dedicated only 1.5 percent of its GDP to education, including primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. This places Sri Lanka at the bottom of the list for education spending in South Asia. By contrast, countries like India, the Maldives, and Afghanistan invest over 4 percent of their GDP in public education, while Bhutan leads the way, allocating an impressive 8 percent. For the past 15 years, Sri Lanka’s education budget has remained stuck between 1.5 and 2 percent, while most other South Asian countries have steadily increased their spending. | en_US |
