Government expenditure on education has increased substantially since 1992, reaching RMB 3.4 trillion in 2017. Since 2012, China has achieved its national target of government expenditure on education accounting for more than 4 per cent of GDP for six consecutive years. However, this percentage is still lower than the world’s average.
