Comparative Education Indicators in Eight Countries
This report elaborates on key perspectives and results of education in eight countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The report introduces and discusses five topic areas: population and school enrollment, academic performance, contexts for learning, expenditures for education, and educational attainment and income. This international comparison will generate informational insight on national education systems as well as magnify the legitimacy of a need for policy change.
