Purpose:
To measure international (foreign) donors’ financial
contribution in terms of current expenditure on ICT in
education compared to total recurrent spending on ICT in
education from all sources.
Method of collection:
Extract data from financial account statements or budget
documents.
Data source(s):
Budget or accounts of the finance department of the
ministries of education or, alternatively, the national
statistical office or Finance Ministry.
PRCI t
= Total private current expenditure on ICT in education (in national currency) at level of education h in school-year t

PCUI t
= Total government current expenditure on ICT in education (in national currency) at level of education h in school-

FCUI t
= Total current expenditure on ICT in education from international (foreign) sources (in national currency) at level of

education h in school-year t
Analysis and interpretation:
This indicator helps to monitor the relative share of current
expenditure on ICT in education contributed by international
(foreign) partners compared to total current expenditure on ICT
in education. In comparison with the proportion of total
recurrent spending on ICT in education from government and
private sources, a higher percentage or value for this indicator
implies a greater contribution of international (foreign) funds to
overall current expenditure on ICT in education.
Methodological and definition issues or operational
limitations:
Data on expenditure figures are sometimes not available in a
timely manner to meet international requirements. In such
situations, countries may provide data on allocated budgets
in place of the expenditure figures. Metadata to explain the
distinction between allocated budgets and actual
expenditures should be given together with an indication of
the currency denomination.
