International Conference on Cross-National Education Indicators (Washington, D.C., November 3-6, 1987). Conference Report.
Suter, Larry
The aim of the conference reported in this document was to agree on a small set of education indicators that the 22 participating countries could jointly pursue over the next 5 years. Participants discussed methodological problems involved in making cross-national comparisons of outcomes of education; summarized the statistical activities underway in their countries concerning the use of performance indicators; and described sources of statistical data on education outcomes, resources, and student context of education. Two papers presented at the conference are given in full: (1) "Remarks to the International Conference on Education Indicators" (Emerson J. Elliott); and (2) "U.S. Education Reform and International Data" (Chester E. Finn, Jr.), while a "Summary Report on Cross-National Education Indicators" (Secretariat of the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development) provides a day by day, session by session account of the conference, concluding with a description of the need for further discussions on specific subject areas in order to arrive at working definitions for a set of indicators. The conference agenda is provided, and the titles of papers presented and delegate names and addresses are listed. (TJH)
