The State of Education Worldwide

Findings from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) provide key information on the output of educational institutions; the impact of learning across countries; the financial and human resources invested in education; access, participation and progression in education; and the learning environment and organization of schools. Two new indicators are developed and analyzed in the context of participation and progress in education: an indicator on the completion rate of upper secondary students and an indicator on admission processes to higher education. The responsibility of this publication is to ensure that the educational needs of the children today are met and that positive educational foundations are in place to inform their future professional and personal development.
