Mainly dealing with proposals concerning indicators for measuring the impact of education on society, this report attempts to present a framework of educational statistics related to the main policy concerns of member countries. Indicators are assessments of the condition of society vis-a-vis its aspirations and goals. The report defines some of the more important general policy objectives and examines statistical measures that are most useful to monitor progress or regression within each area of concern. This approach accepts that indicators of performance must be multi-dimensional so that education can meet its many objectives including contributions to the transmission of knowledge, equality of opportunity and social mobility, meeting the needs of the economy, individual development, and transmission and evolution of values. Finally, the effective use of resources in pursuit of the policy objectives is discussed. (Author/ND)
