Description: The database covers: enrolments, graduates and new entrants by sex, age and level of education, teaching staff and expenditure.

The OECD Education Database provides internationally comparable data on key aspects of education systems. OECD Member countries co-operate to gather the information, to develop and apply common definitions and criteria for the quality control of the data, to verify the data and to provide the information necessary to interpret the submitted data.

The database is designed for use by both the Secretariat and Member governments for policy analysis and to permit any one country to compare itself with the others despite differences in institutional structures.
Notes: World Wide Web Resource.

Computer data are available to University of Toronto faculty, students and staff for academic research and teaching purposes only.

Mode of access: World Wide Web.  All of the tables of the OECD education database are in Beyond 20/20 format.
