OECD iLibrary: Education

'OECD's annual Education at a Glance looks at who participates in education, what is spent on it, how education systems operate and the results achieved. The latter includes indicators on a wide range of outcomes, from comparisons of students’ performance in key subject areas to the impact of education on earnings and on adults’ chances of employment. This book includes StatLinks, urls linking to Excel® spreadsheets containing the background data.'

‘The annual comparative reports of the Education Policy Outlook monitor the evolution of policy landscapes mainly among the education systems of OECD Countries…. Covering selected topics from early childhood education to adult education, the reports aim to provide a comparative understanding of how priorities and policies are evolving, and how policies can be best implemented or improved over time in their specific contexts.’

'This book, published every two to three years, is designed to give policy makers, researchers, educational leaders, administrators and teachers a robust, non-specialist source to inform strategic thinking and stimulate reflection on the challenges facing education, whether in schools, universities or programmes for older adults.'
