This figure includes expenditure funded by current education specific grants within aggregate external finance, but excludes expenditure funded by specific grants outside AEF. Education standard spending in 1995–96 is £17.204 billion; within that, education standard spending assessments, which include neither current education specific grants within AEF nor specific grants outside AEF, total £17.024 billion. The table gives for each local education authority budgeted spending in 1994–95, and its SSA for 1995–96.
