Developing Nations Pay More on Debt Than Schools — And India Should Pay Attention
The Guardian·Wednesday, 15 July 2026
A new UNESCO report found that 113 developing countries spent more repaying foreign debt in 2025 than on education. In sub-Saharan Africa, 18 countries spent five times more on debt than on schooling. Global aid to education is also predicted to fall by up to 30%.
