The OECD Education Database

The OECD Education Database provides internationally comparable data on key aspects of education, including the volume and nature of investments in education and on their returns, in terms of the graduate outputs of education systems. Data are available for the 30 OECD Member countries as well as for 20 non-Member countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Israel, Jamaica, Jordan, Malaysia, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Russian Federation, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tunisia, Uruguay and Zimbabwe).

Content of the Database

The database is organised by topic (students enrolled, foreign students, entrants, graduates, educational personnel and educational expenditure) and by the statistical units for which data are collected (level of education, programme orientation, programme destination, type of institution, sex and age and some more specific breakdowns to each datasets, e.g. for educational expenditure). The on-line database contains raw data as compiled from countries and checked by the international organisations. The education database is supplemented with information on the sources available on a electronic format.

Accessing the Data

The database is updated every year in September when Education at a Glance is published. The on-line database presents the raw data received from countries, after the cleaning and checking processes. The database is freely available through:
