Debt crisis drives 8% cut in education spending in high-debt countries
Campaign group Debt Justice reports that countries facing debt crises have cut education spending by 8%. The finding points to debt repayments crowding out public investment in schools, with low-income countries hardest hit. The claim is likely to fuel calls for debt relief and reform of international lending, with campaigners urging governments to protect education budgets.
Why now: Debt relief and its impact on public services is a live policy debate, and a concrete figure on education cuts gives campaigners and policymakers something to react to.
