This report
is based on the first international education indicators produced
by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The 16 indicators were chosen to take advantage of data available
in "Education at a Glance," the most up-to-date set of
international educational indicators. Indicators are grouped into
categories of: (1) background; (2) participation; (3) outcomes;
and (4) finance. In addition, results from the National Assessment
of Educational Progress study of mathematics achievement of eighth
graders have been statistically linked to results from a similar
international study. The presentation of each indicator includes
an explanation of what it means, why it is important, and key results
from a comparison of countries and states. Comparisons are most
often made among "like-size"
entities. For each indicator, tables are included for states and
countries along with a graph that displays this data together. The
indicators are policy-relevant and problem-oriented measures of
the state of a system. A commitment to reaching world-class education
performance is expressed in the National Education Goals of 1990.
These indicators provide information necessary to plan for these
goals. Eighteen figures and 32 tables present indicators. An appendix
provides technical information about the comparison process and
includes standard error tables for indicators. A glossary and technical
notes are attached. (SLD)
