Designed to help people compare education systems in different countries, this annual report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (also discussed in the
December 14, 1999 Scout Report for Social Sciences & Humanities) gives data on an array of indicators for the OECD's 30 member countries and some non-member countries as well. The indicators fall into three basic categories: resources invested in education, the operation of educational systems, and returns to investments. This year's report adds several new indicators including the use of and access to technology and worker education. The report is available at the OECD site in HTML format, and users may also download tables, a brochure of highlights, and a user questionnaire in Excel, .pdf, and Word formats respectively.
