Chart 5-10. Increase of School Education Expenditures (Real Valfe), Classified by Outlay

As regards the gap between these two fiscal years for each type of outlay, both full-time teacher sa1ary and capital outlay and debt redemption expenses showed sizeable growth in local elementary and upper secondary schools and private universities* while in national universities, full-time teacher salary showed considerable growth but capital outlay and debt redemption expenses shrank considerably.

The proportion of the increase ascribabJe to commodity price increases and the proportion of real increase of expenses, classified by type of outlay, to the total increase of school education expenditures during fiscal 1965 through 1973, are shown in Table 5-10.

Of the expenditures classified by type of outlay, the prjportion of the increase of full-time tedcher salary is the largest in local elernentary and upper secondary schoolt and national universities, and is the second largest in private universities, coming after the increase of capital outlay and debt redemption expenses.

Further, if the increase of full-time teacher salary is classified into the portion of the increase attributable to the salary increase per full-time teacher and the portion of the increase attributable to the growth of the number of full-time teacheri, it is found that the proportion of the former is larger in loca1 elenientary and upper secondary schools, while the proportion of the latter is larger in national and private universities.
