The creation of a methodology for assessing the economic efficiency of investments in education at the macroeconomic level is based on a comparison of public investment in education and the average salary in the country. The average salary is considered as a productive indica-tor of the effectiveness of investments in education.

The proposed model for evaluating the effectiveness of investments in education is simple and convenient, it is able to link the efficiency of the company and the cost of human capital.
