The 2005 edition of Education at a Glance: OECD Indicators provides a rich, comparable and up-to-date array of indicators on the performance of education systems. In doing so, it 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 and how education systems operate, and at the results achieved. The latter includes indicators on a wide range of outcomes ranging from comparisons of student performance in key subject areas to the impact of education on earnings and adults’ chances of employment.
New material in this edition includes:
- Results of the 2003 survey of OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA),
- Data on the distribution of earnings for individuals with different educational levels as well as first evidence of non-economic outcomes of education,
- Comparisons of the participation of labour force members in continuing education and training,
- An analysis of student learning time out of school,
- A comparison between the performance of public and private schools, and
- Data on the policies and practices secondary school systems employ to differentiate among students and the impact of these on outcomes.

With the recent increase in cross-border higher education, systems of quality assurance, accreditation and recognition of qualifications face big challenges.
The Guidelines for Quality Provision in Cross-border Higher Education provide an international framework to protect students and other stakeholders from low-quality provision and disreputable providers. They provide guidance to key stakeholders on how to share the responsibility of assuring quality provision of cross-border higher education between the sending country and the receiving country. The Guidelines were elaborated in close collaboration with UNESCO.

The trends and challenges of cross-border higher education are addressed in more details in Quality and Recognition in Higher Education: The Cross-border Challenge (OECD, 2004); and Internationalisation and Trade in Higher Education: Opportunities and Challenges (OECD, 2004).
Cet ouvrage présente des orientations pratiques sur un domaine qui ne retient l’attention des pouvoirs publics que depuis quelques années. Il réunit les principaux enseignements qui se dégagent de l’expérience de 17 pays de l’OCDE, en fournissant des informations concrètes sur les stratégies mises en œuvre pour améliorer la participation des adultes à la formation. Il s’intéresse aux problèmes susceptibles de faire obstacle à celle-ci, ainsi qu’aux mesures propres à y remédier. Ces dernières consistent entre autres à renforcer et mettre en avant les avantages que procure la formation des adultes, afin de les rendre plus visibles et plus aisément reconnaissables. Parmi les autres moyens d’action possibles figurent les incitations économiques et les mécanismes de cofinancement, qui peuvent accroître l’efficience de l’offre de formation tout en assurant des services de qualité adaptés aux besoins des adultes. Enfin, il est possible d’améliorer l’élaboration des politiques en renforçant la coordination et la cohérence dans un domaine caractérisé par une grande diversité de parties prenantes, dont font partie les ministères de l’Éducation et les ministères du Travail.
This book, the first major study of financial education at the international level, contributes to the development of consumer financial literacy by providing information to policy makers on effective financial education programmes and by promoting the exchange of views and the sharing of experience in the field of financial education and awareness. It identifies and analyses financial literacy surveys in member countries, highlights the economic, demographic and policy changes that make financial education increasingly important, and describes the different types of financial education programmes currently being offered in OECD countries. Finally, this book evaluates the effectiveness of financial education programmes and introduces the OECD Council Recommendation on Principals and Good Practices for Financial Education and Awareness.
Cet ouvrage rassemble les dernières statistiques, des études de cas et des rapports d’orientation sur les grandes tendances et l’évolution de l’enseignement post-secondaire transnational en Amérique du Nord, en Europe et dans la région Asie-Pacifique.

Given the increasing competitiveness and greater geo-political significance of higher education and research, and the under-developed profile of many new Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), this study seeks to examine the processes and strategies being devised by new HEIs to grow research. By focusing on new HEIs, this book provides a unique profile of the experiences of a group of institutions that has hitherto been unidentified and unexplored. It analyses results drawn from an in-depth study of twenty-five HEIs from across sixteen countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hong Kong China, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.
Compte tenu, d’une part, de l’importance grandissante de la concurrence et de la portée géopolitique de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche, et, d’autre part, du retard de développement de nombreux EES nouveaux, cette étude cherche à analyser les processus et les stratégies élaborés par les nouveaux EES pour développer leur activité de recherche. Cet ouvrage propose un panorama unique des expériences d’un groupe d’établissements qui n’a jusqu’à présent pas été défini ni exploré. Il examine les résultats d’une étude de fond portant sur 25 EES situés dans 16 pays : Australie, Belgique, Canada, Danemark, Espagne, Finlande, Grèce, Hong Kong Chine, Hongrie, Irlande, Japon, Nouvelle-Zélande, Portugal, République tchèque, Royaume-Uni, Suède.

L’édition 2005 de Regards sur l’éducation présente une imposante batterie d’indicateurs actualisés et comparables sur les résultats des systèmes éducatifs. Ces indicateurs sont le fruit d’une concertation entre spécialistes sur la façon de mesurer l’état actuel de l’éducation à l’échelle internationale.
Les indicateurs analysent qui participe aux activités éducatives, quelles dépenses leur sont affectées, comment les systèmes éducatifs fonctionnent et quels sont les résultats obtenus. Les indicateurs de résultats portent sur des aspects très variés allant de la comparaison des performances des élèves dans des disciplines fondamentales à l’analyse de l’impact de la formation sur les revenus professionnels et les possibilités d’emploi à l’âge adulte.
Cette édition comprend des éléments nouveaux, notamment les résultats du cycle d’enquête 2003 du Programme international de l’OCDE pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA) ; des données sur la répartition des revenus du travail selon le niveau de formation, ainsi qu’une première analyse des effets non économiques de l’éducation ; une analyse comparative de la participation de la population active à des activités de formation continue ; une analyse du temps que les élèves passent à apprendre en dehors de l’école ; une comparaison des résultats des écoles publiques et privées, et des données sur les politiques et pratiques employées dans l’enseignement secondaire pour établir une différenciation entre les élèves, et leur impact sur les résultats.

This publication provides policy guidance in an area that has been given little policy priority until recent years. It brings together key lessons from 17 OECD countries, providing evidence on the strategies in place to improve adults’ participation in learning. It addresses potential barriers to learning as well as the policies to remedy them. Among these are policies for increasing and promoting the benefits of adult learning to make them transparent and easily recognised. Other policy levers include economic incentives and co-financing mechanisms that can raise the efficiency of adult learning provision, while delivering quality learning that is adapted to adults’ needs. Finally, policy making can be improved via co-ordination and coherence in a field that is characterised by a wide variety of stakeholders, including ministries of education and ministries of labour.

Teachers Matter provides a comprehensive, international analysis of trends and developments in the teacher workforce in 25 countries around the world; research on attracting, developing and retaining effective teachers; innovative and successful policies and practices that countries have implemented; and teacher policy options for countries to consider.
While documenting many areas of concern about teachers and teaching, the report also provides positive examples of where policies are making a difference. It spotlights countries where teachers’ social standing is high, and where there are more qualified applicants than vacant posts. Even in countries where shortages have been a concern, there are recent signs of increased interest in teaching, and policy initiatives appear to be taking effect.
At a time when many countries are facing an ageing teaching workforce and having trouble attracting new recruits, this book provides insights into how governments can successfully deal with these issues.
Following the burst of the dot-com bubble in 2000, scepticism about e-learning replaced over-enthusiasm. Rhetoric aside, where do we stand? Why and how do different kinds of tertiary education institutions engage in e-learning? What do institutions perceive to be the pedagogic impact of e-learning in its different forms? How do institutions understand the costs of e-learning? How might e-learning impact staffing and staff development? This book addresses these and many other questions.
The study is based on a qualitative survey of practices and strategies carried out by the OECD Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) at 19 tertiary education institutions from 11 OECD member countries – Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States – and 2 non-member countries – Brazil and Thailand. This qualitative survey is complemented by the findings of a quantitative survey of e-learning in tertiary education carried out in 2004 by the Observatory on Borderless Higher Education (OBHE) in some Commonwealth countries.
