Analysis# Madagascar Education Spending
Madagascar allocated 3.048% of its GDP to education in 2023, reflecting moderate investment in the sector. This figure sits substantially below the country's all-time peak of 5.054% in 1977, yet well above the historic low of 1.538% recorded in 1997. Since 1972, education spending has declined 5.3% overall, indicating a general contraction in the country's educational commitment relative to economic output.
A significant recovery began around 2014, when spending stood at just 2.381% of GDP. Over the subsequent decade, Madagascar increased education expenditure consistently, peaking at 3.254% in 2020. The 2023 level of 3.048% suggests a slight retreat from that recent high, though spending remains substantially elevated compared to the early 2010s, indicating renewed prioritization of the education sector despite ongoing economic constraints.
