Education at a Glance 2007
OECD Indicators
OECD's annual Education at a Glance looks at who participates in education, what is spent on it, how education systems operate and the results achieved. The latter includes indicators on a wide range of outcomes, from comparisons of students’ performance in key subject areas to the impact of education on earnings and on adults’ chances of employment. New material in this 2007 edition includes data on how socio-economic background affects access to tertiary education, more data on participation in vocational programmes, trend data on graduation rates, trend data on enrolment rates, data on contractual arrangements of teachers, and data on evaluation policies for public schools. This book includes StatLinks, urls linking to Excel® spreadsheets containing the background data.

Indicator D5 How do education systems monitor school performance?
Centre for Educational Research and Innovation
This indicator focuses on the evaluation and accountability arrangements for lower secondary public schools that exist across countries. The focus is upon the collection, use and availability of student and school performance information. This indicator complements the quantitative information relating to teacher salaries and working and teaching time (Indicators D3 and D4), instruction time of students (Indicator D1), and the relationship between number of students and numbers of teachers (Indicator D2) by providing qualitative information on the type and use of particular school accountability and evaluation arrangements.
