How much is spent on British education per year?

There's no single figure for the total amount spent on British education per year because funding comes from various sources and is categorized in different ways. You'll find different numbers depending on what's included (e.g., higher education vs. primary and secondary, public vs. private, capital expenditure vs. running costs).

To get a reasonable estimate, you'd need to look at government spending reports (like those from the UK Department for Education) and potentially include estimates for private education spending. These reports will usually break down spending by sector and level. Because of the complexity, I can't provide a precise figure. You'll need to consult official UK government sources for the most up-to-date and detailed breakdown.
