Analysis# Mozambique Education Spending
Mozambique allocated 5.976% of GDP to education in 2022, representing a substantial recovery from its 1998 low of 1.801% but below its 2014 peak of 6.399%. Over the 24-year span, education spending has increased 231.8%, reflecting a significant commitment to building the country's human capital and institutional capacity.
The period from 2013 to 2014 marked a turning point, when Mozambique reached its maximum investment at 6.399% of GDP. A subsequent decline through 2018 (5.39%) gave way to renewed growth, with spending fluctuating between 6.0% and 6.341% from 2019 to 2021. The 2022 decline to 5.976% suggests recent budgetary pressures, though current levels remain well above historical baselines and indicate ongoing prioritization of education.
