Education at a Glance: OECD Indicators.
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, Paris (France). Centre for Educational Research and Innovation.
This third edition of "Education at a Glance" presents a set of 49 international education indicators covering the 1991-92 school year. The publication of this set of indicators marks the completion of efforts begun in 1992 to develop a system for collecting, screening, and processing education statistics that would bring together statistical information of a very diverse nature from several sources. In addition to information on the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the report presents information on the four non-OECD countries of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Russia. Indicators are presented in the following categories: (1) contexts of education; (2) costs, resources, and school processes; (3) results of education; and (4) annotated charts of education systems. These international figures confirm the economic importance and size of modern education systems and the volume of resources invested. Many similarities can be noted among OECD member countries, particularly in the areas of gender differences in earnings at the same level of education and in teacher salaries. Over 120 charts and graphs illustrate the discussion. Five appendixes (annexes) provide supplemental information on data sources and data technical quality. (SLD)
