Description topics
- Knowledge infrastructure
- Knowledge infrastructure are the 'soft infrastructures', such as education and research infrastructures, aimed at the creation of educated people ('embodied knowledge') and new (scientific) insights ('disembodied knowledge').
- Educational expenditure per student
- Expenditure on public and private education institutes, per pupil/student (in fulltime equivalents). It concerns both public (government) expenditure, and expenditure by private organisations or individuals.
Please note: it concerns both expenditure directly to educational institutions, and expenditure to individuals, who then pay (a part of) the money to an educational institution. In the case of a study grant to a student, the part of the grant used by the student to pay tuition, is counted in this indicator. The part of the grant used by the student to pay the rent is not counted in this indicator.

Note: The OECD figure presented is the weighted average within the OECD countries (the sum of all expenditure in all countries has been divided by the sum of the number of pupils and students in all countries). When no data are available for one or some OECD countries the average has been calculated using the available countries.
