Analysis# North Macedonia Education Spending
North Macedonia allocated 3.3% of its GDP to education in 2002, marking a substantial decline from its 1992 peak of 4.733%. This represents a 30.3% decrease over the decade, with 2002 representing both the current and all-time low in the measured period. The country's education investment contracted steadily throughout the 1990s, falling from 4.631% in 1993 to 4.271% by 1995 before settling at current levels.
The most significant erosion occurred between 1992 and 1995, when spending dropped 0.462 percentage points in just three years. A minor stabilization appeared around 1995-1996, yet the downward trajectory resumed and intensified thereafter. The consistent decline suggests structural pressures on education budgets during North Macedonia's transition period, with no evidence of recovery through 2002.
