| 0 true zero or a value rounded to zero 1. These averages are from Education at a Glance 2010: OECD Indicators, Table B6.2b, Expenditure by educational institutions, by resource category and level of education (2007), which presents the most recent available data for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's 31 member countries. Please see the OECD's Web site at www.oecd.org. 2. The most recent data available for Canada and the provinces are for 2006; these estimates were submitted to the OECD and will be included in its average figures for 2007. In Canada (and in provinces and territories), expenditures for postsecondary non-tertiary education are aggregated with those for tertiary-type 5B education. 3. Public institutions only at the tertiary level. Notes: Current expenditure refers to spending on resources used each year by institutions as they carry out their activities. Capital expenditure refers to spending on assets that last longer than one year, including spending on new or replacement equipment and construction or renovation of buildings. Neither takes expenditure related to debt service into account.
