Yes. Government purchases include teachers.
Government Purchases (Government Purchases) refers to the expenditures of governments at all levels to purchase goods and services, which is part of government expenditures.
Other parts of government spending, such as transfer payments and public debt, are not included in GDP. The reason is that government purchases provide social services by hiring civil servants, teachers, building public facilities, building fleets, etc. Transfer payments simply transfer income from some people or organizations to other people or organizations, without any corresponding exchange of goods or services.
From the above, we can know that the salaries of public school teachers are purchased by the government and funded by the government’s financial department.
