The OECD study examines the performance of the education system in the 34 OECD countries, as well as in a number of non-OECD countries like Costa Rica and Lithuania. A system of indicators developed by the OECD allows a comparison of the level and conditions of education in the participating countries. The study offers information regarding who participates in the education system, what the costs are, how education systems operate and what results they achieve. The current edition includes analyses of data on educational and social mobility in third level education, job market conditions for graduates and the participation in employer-funded formal and/or informal training. The volume offers essential information about learning and education in the participating countries in over 150 illustrations and 300 tables.
