Education at a Glance
2006
The 2006 edition of
Education at a Glance provides a rich, comparable and
up-to-date array of indicators on the performance of education
systems and represents the consensus of professional thinking on how
to measure the current state of education internationally. The
indicators look at who participates in education, what is spent on
it, how education systems operate and the results achieved.
Indicators comprise a wide range of outcomes, from comparisons of
student’s performance in key subject areas to the impact of
education on earnings and on adults’ chances of
employment.
New material in this edition includes: further
analysis of results of the 2003 survey of the OECD’s Programme for
International Student Assessment (PISA) , including student access
to and use of ICT, analysis of the lowest performing students; the
effects of family background on students’ performance and the way
classes are organised in schools; trend data on tertiary
qualifications, including projections for the year 2014; trend data
on survival rates in tertiary education; the impact of demographic
trends on education systems, as well as projections on expenditure
for the year 2015; trend data on expected years of education;
instruction time per subject for 9-to-14-year-olds; a picture of
student mobility and the significance of internationalisation of
higher education. The ExcelR spreadsheets used to create the tables
and charts are available via the StatLinks printed in the
book.

- FEMALE STUDENTS have a higher upper-secondary graduation rate
than males, yet males are more likely to participate in
job-related training later on.
- POTENTIAL EARNINGS for those with a university-level degree
are 8-20% higher than those with non-tertiary education.
- THE IMPACT OF demographic change on education resourcing will
differ widely from country to country: by 2015, there will be 29%
fewer 5-14 year olds in Korea, 30% fewer 15-19 year olds in
Poland, and 34% fewer 20-29 year olds in Spain, compared to
2005.
- STUDENT SUCCESS and family income are clearly linked: the 25%
of students with the lowest family income are 3.5 times more
likely to struggle with basic mathematics than the wealthiest 25%.
