Finally, the impact of the increase or decrease of educational funding on primary, secundary and university education coverage was analyzed. It is concluded that, from the XIX century, the Costa Rican State has maintained a solid and growing commitment with the inancing of its public education system, with some (usually short-lasting) regressions, except for the period from 1981 to 2007.
