Analysis# Belarus Education Spending
Belarus allocated 5.046% of its GDP to education in 2024, representing a modest recovery from recent lows but still significantly below its historical peak of 6.197% in 2000. Over the 25-year span from 1999 to 2024, education spending declined 15.9%, reflecting a long-term contraction despite the country's sustained commitment to public education. The current level remains above the all-time low of 4.369% recorded in 2009.
Recent years show a stabilizing pattern after dipping to 4.606% in 2021. From 2022 onward, spending has rebounded incrementally, climbing from 4.628% to 5.046% by 2024. This upward trajectory suggests renewed prioritization of education funding, though Belarus would need to increase allocations by over 20% to return to early 2000s levels.
