An essential resource for all those involved in the education sector and education policy making. The rising demand for education across the globe, coupled with the search to make education more effective, means this is an essential and timely resource.

The 2010 edition of 'Education at a Glance: OECD Indicators' enables countries to see themselves in the light of other countries' performance. It provides a rich, comparable and up-to-date array of indicators on systems and represents the consensus of professional thinking on how to measure the current state of education internationally.

The indicators show who participates in education, how much is spent on it and how education systems operate. They also illustrate a wide range of educational outcomes, comparing, for example, student performance in key subject areas and the impact of education on earnings and on adult chances of employment.

Key features:

• A review of trends in educational attainment

• An update on the human and financial resources invested in education

• Indicators relating to school choice and the parent voice in education

• A comparison of the salaries of teachers to earnings of other workers with tertiary education

• An indicator of the benchmarking of labour costs by educational levels across OECD countries

• A prediction of the long-term economic impact of improved learning outcomes.
