Brazil — Annual Education Budget
- The Brazilian Ministry of Economy provides official government annual budget data. As the Ministry of Education also finances public higher education, it was necessary to add the amounts budgeted for infant education, basic (fundamental and medium) education, and transfers to primary education; these three make up the budgets for primary and secondary education in the country. For the 2010 and 2011 education budgets, four values were considered for the sum, since one of the funds on basic education was divided into fundamental and medium education.
