This report describes key education outcomes and contexts of education in the Group of Eight (G-8) countries - Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The report is organized into five topical areas: population and school enrollment, academic performance, contexts for learning, expenditures for education, and educational attainment and income. Results are drawn from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) ongoing Indicators of Education Systems (INES) program, as well as the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), which is also coordinated by the OECD.

This report compares the US education system with other major industrialised countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Russian Federation, and the UK), using data from three main sources: the OECD's Indicators of National Education Systems (INES) project; the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) assessments; and the OECD's Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). The report contains an introduction, a highlight of the key findings, and 31 indicators comparing different aspects of the education systems in the US and the seven other countries, organised in five areas: (1) the context of education; (2) preprimary and primary education; (3) secondary education (encompassing lower secondary education and upper secondary education); (4) higher education (vocational programs and academic programs); and (5) education and the labour force. Each indicator is presented in a two-page format: the first page contains the key findings, a definition of the indicator and a description of the methodology used to produce the indicator; the second page presents graphs to support the key findings, sources of data for the indicator and notes on interpreting the results. The report also includes a glossary, a classification of countries' education systems, supplemental notes and an appendix of tables. Show less

This report describes how the education system in the United States compares with education systems in the other G-8 countries - Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom. Twenty-seven indicators are organized in five sections: (1) population and school enrollment; (2) academic performance (including subsections for reading, mathematics, and science); (3) context for learning; (4) expenditure for education; and (5) education returns: educational attainment and income. This report draws on the most current information about education from four primary sources: the Indicators of National Education Systems (INES) at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).

This report provides a comparison of the education system in the United States with those in the other Group of 20 (G-20) countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. The findings of the report are presented in five major sections: (1) Population and school enrollment - presents indicators that suggest the potential demand for education in countries as measured by the size and growth of their school-age population and current and past levels of enrollment in formal education. The section concludes with an indicator that examines the extent to which international or foreign students are enrolled in higher education across the G-20 countries; (2) Academic performance - has indicators spanning school levels and adulthood, as well as subject areas including reading literacy, mathematics, science, and problem solving in technology-rich environments. The indicators present findings on student performance in the G-20 countries, including the distribution of achievement across proficiency levels, average performance on content subscales, and changes in average performance on overall scales in reading, mathematics, and science; (3) Contexts for learning - highlights a range of key policy-relevant issues pertaining to contexts for learning across the G-20 countries. This section presents data on differences between males' and females' attitudes toward learning across the grades, as well as on teachers' reports of their instructional strategies, opportunities for collaboration and professional development, and job satisfaction and morale; (4) Expenditure for education - provides a comparative look at expenditure for education, including one indicator on public school teachers' salaries in primary and secondary education and one on annual changes in education expenditures; and (5) Education returns: educational attainment and income - focuses on graduation rates, educational attainment and degrees, employment rates, and earnings (including disaggregation by sex and field of study).
