„Sweden is among the countries that invest most in education. General government expenditure on education was among the highest in the EU in 2016, as a proportion both of GDP (6.6 %) and of total general government expenditure (13.4 %). Education expenditure, at constant prices, increased by 17 % during 2012-2016.“
