This dataset includes data on expenditure on education by public institutions, government-dependent private institutions and independent private institutions, intending to represent the total cost of services provided regardless of whether the source is public or private. Expenditure is broken down by country into capital and current expenditure, comprising compensation of personnel and expenditure on other (non-personnel) resources. Data are categorised by education level and orientation and available from 1985 onwards.
All entities providing funds for education, initially or as final payers, are classified as either governmental (public) or non-governmental (private) sources, the sole exception being international agencies and other foreign sources, which are treated as a separate category. There are three types of financial transactions: direct expenditure on educational institutions, transfers to students or households and to other private entities, and households expenditure on education outside educational institutions.
Tables in the computer use, video gaming and attitudes towards learning dataset show data by gender on the frequency of use of information technology both at school and outside school. Also included are data on the relationship between reading performance and enjoyment as well as students' attitudes to learning.
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an internationally standardised assessment that was jointly developed by participating countries and administered to 15-year-olds in schools.The survey was implemented in 43 countries in the 1st assessment in 2000, in 41 countries in the 2nd assessment in 2003, in 57 countries in the 3rd assessment in 2006, 62 countries in the 4th assessment in 2009 and 65 countries in the 5th assessment in 2012 and 72 countries in 2015. Tests are typically administered to between 4 500 and 10 000 students in each country.
PISA assesses how far students near the end of compulsory education have acquired some of the knowledge and skills that are essential for full participation in society. In all cycles, the domains of reading, mathematical and scientific literacy are covered not merely in terms of mastery of the school curriculum, but in terms of important knowledge and skills needed in adult life.
