Description: The Global Education Digest 2008 presents the education data for more than 200 countries and territories. In particular, it presents data collected through the World Education Indicators (WEI) programme, which is led by the UIS and participating countries, as well as the UOE data collection, which is jointly administered by the UIS, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and Eurostat. These data tables provide detailed information on the education systems and resources of 62 middle- and high-income countries. The Digest also presents the initial results of a major UIS initiative to build a more robust set of historical time series data to track global trends in primary and secondary education. These data can be used to provide a global perspective on long-term progress towards educational goals and to identify the advances and setbacks of individual countries.
