Lower-wage countries such as Italy and Spain surprisingly pay more on average for basic school equipment compared to wealthier European economies.

Italy and Spain pay the highest price for basic school equipment, despite having lower wages than France, Germany and the UK, a Euronews analysis of Europe's five biggest economies found.

The analysis took into account the costs of over 20 essential school items, such as pencils, pens, erasers, notebooks, scissors, etc., sold in supermarket chains and school stores within the same price range.

The heaviest burden is on Italian families, who have to save around 10.80%, or €202.71, of their monthly income to buy just the bare minimum, excluding textbooks.

If Spain's rising costs are partially justified by inflation, the fourth highest in the EU in June, the same cannot be said for Italy, which had the second lowest in the bloc (0.9).

Although textbook prices vary from school to school, they add up to a significant burden: €591.44 on average in Italy and €491.90 in Spain, the highest ever, according to price comparison website Idealo, with an increase of €42.67 compared to last year. Then there are countries such as Germany, Britain and France./ CNA
