Solution

Government expenditure on education can be expressed in two ways:

(i) As a percentage of total government expenditure.

(ii) As a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The measure as a percentage of GDP is a better measure since it sets fixed targets rather than the variable government expenditure.
