Education at a glance: OECD indicators
Synopsis
The OECD indicators are the definitive source for accurate information on the state of education around the world. They provide data on the output of educational institutions; the impact of learning across countries; the financial and human resources invested in education; access, participation and progression in education; and the learning environment and organisation of schools.
This year’s edition of education statistics includes more than 100 charts, 150 tables and links to another 150 tables online. It contains detailed analyses of participation in early childhood and tertiary levels of education; data on the impact of skills on employment and earnings, gender differences in education and employment; educational and social mobility; how education is financed; and information on teachers, from their salaries and hours spent teaching to information on recess and breaks during the school day.
