A quick google search of the UNSECO target is "at least 15% of total public expenditure (or 4–6% of GDP)" and both the US (~5%) and California (~4-5% of gdp) already pass that criteria. | ||

The UNESCO target is calibrated for developing countries. Few developed countries spend that much on non-tertiary education: https://www.oecd.org/en/data/indicators/public-spending-on-e.... Canada spends about 3.3%, less than California. (I think your numbers include tertiary education. My numbers are K-12 only. I’m not sure which of those the UNESCO target is based on.) | ||

The confusion/disconnect between those two benchmarks suggests something about the size of CA's public expenditure... | ||
