20 per cent of donor countries' aid spent on scholarship- 29-Mar-2013
New Delhi: Over USD three billion of aid to education is spent on scholarships for students of developing countries to study in donor countries, according to a UNESCO study. The study shows that at least 20 per cent of the aid from the four largest donors to education -- Japan, Canada, Germany and France -- is spent on scholarships and student costs rather than targetted at the key education priorities of poor countries. "...One quarter of aid never leaves the donor countries. In total, USD 3.1 billion of aid to education is spent on scholarships for students from developing countries to study in donor countries," the report said. In 2010, says the study, almost 40 per cent of Japan's direct aid to education went to scholarships for students studying in Japan, the equivalent for Canada was 22 per cent.
