OECD (2005), Education at a Glance 2005, Paris. For statistics on capital expenditure in education for 30 OECD and 14 non-OECD countries, see Indicator B6; capital expenditure is expressed as a percentage of total educational expenditure, i.e. capital and current. Capital expenditure is defined by the OECD as "spending on assets that last longer than one year and include spending on the construction, renovation and repair of buildings"; there is no further breakdown. Current expenditure is defined as "spending on school resources used each year for the operation of schools", which is broken down into "compensation of teachers", "compensation to other staff" and "other", which could include maintenance of school buildings; there is no breakdown for "other". See also the OECD Education Database to download the underlying data, including data from previous years, by level of education and type of institution (public vs private).
