What is it?
Education at a Glance is the definitive guide to the state of education around the world. More than 100 charts and tables in the publication and country notes – as well as many more in the data explorer – describe the output of educational institutions; the impact of learning across countries; access, participation and progression in education; the financial resources invested in education; and teachers, the learning environment and the organisation of schools. The 2024 edition focuses on equity in education, providing indicators on gaps in educational outcomes and discussing the effect of educational attainment on labour market outcomes.
HIGHLIGHTS
- The number of 25-34 year-olds without secondary attainment fell across most OECD countries between 2016 and 2023
- Girls and women outperform boys in education, but remain disadvantaged in the labour market
- Educational outcomes are strongly influenced by family background. Primary and secondary students from less advantaged socio-economic backgrounds perform worse in standardised assessments such as the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) and PISA.
