The graph illustrates the data about how much funding was allocated for education systems in specific European countries, namely: Sweden, France, Denmark and Germany between 1995 and 2010. In general, it is immediately apparent that the amount of money showed a gradual decrease in all states over the time frame. It is noticeable that Denmark and Germany were considered as the top countries who spent most of their budgets on science in 1995’s, constituting 60 % and 55% respectively. In contrast, Sweden and France weren’t proud of their spendings. In 1995, these two states supported educational institutions monetarily with more than a third and less than a third accordingly. Subsequently, in 2004, although the expenditures in Sweden and France saw a minimal decline to 27% and less than a quarter, they stood ahead of Denmark and Germany with 20% and 15%. Afterwards, whereas there was a stability at just under 27% and 24% in Sweden and France from 2004 to 2010, Germany reached a trough of 5% in 2007. Finally, having witnessed a significant growth to 17% in Germany in 2010, this figure reduced gradually to 10% in Denmark in that year.
