The other three annual spendings declined, from 28% to 22% for other workers' salaries, from 15% to 5% for furniture and equipment.
Between 1991 and 2001, about a half (45%) of the total school spending were still teachers' salaries. Another 8% made up by insurance pays, this is closely followed by spending on resources 9%.
The fugure for furniture increased significantly from 5% to 23% between 1991 and 2001 respectively, while expenditure on other workers' salaries dropped markedly from 22% in 1991 to 15% in 2001.
