Education Costs

This article is a few years old, but it provides some interesting information on education costs worldwide.

From a research standpoint, this information can be used for more than just trying to estimate the cost of education.

There are so many factors to consider, and of course putting a cost on education at all tends to make the assumption that cost is a negative thing. The long-range (lifetime) cost of no education is much higher than the relatively short-term cost of the education.

This article also discusses per capita education spending for different countries around the world, and library spending.

Library spending is directly related to the literacy of a people.

I am very much in support of free worldwide education. Now that we have the internet, I see no reason why we can't get closer to attaining this tremendous goal.
