Shedding light on teaching and learning across education levels

Shedding light on teaching and learning across education levels - Katarzyna Kubacka, December 09, 2014, OECD

New insights from TALIS 2013: Teaching and learning in primary and upper secondary education reveals that women constitute more than 65% of the work force on average, in all six countries that surveyed primary teachers, ranging from 67% in Mexico to 86% in Poland. In contrast, at least 30% of upper secondary teachers across all ten surveyed countries are male and the percentage of female teachers ranges from 48% in Denmark to 68% in Poland. 

PISA 2012 Technical report

  The PISA 2012 Technical Report describes the methodology   underlying the PISA 2012 survey, which tested 15-year-olds’   competencies in mathematics, reading and science and, in some   countries, problem solving and financial literacy. It examines the   design and implementation of the project at a level of detail that   allows researchers to understand and replicate the resulting data   and analyses. The reader will find a wealth of information on the   test and sample design, modes of delivery (paper-based or   computer-based), methodologies used to analyse the data,   technical features of the project, and quality control mechanisms.

Educational mobility starts to slow in industrialised world, says OECD

09/09/2014 - Access to education continues to expand worldwide but the socio-economic divisions between tertiary-educated adults and the rest of society are growing. Governments must do more to ensure that everyone has the same opportunity to a good education early in life, according to a new OECD report. 

Education at a Glance 2014 says that educational mobility has started to slow down in the industrialised world. The number of people with lower qualifications than their parents is 9% among 55-64 year-olds to 12% among 35-44 year-olds and 16% among 25-34 year-olds.

Economic Survey of Poland 2014

Remarks by Mr. Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General Press Release in English and in Polish Poland’s overall economic performance has been impressive over the last decade, allowing living standards to converge steadily towards the EU average. Yet, the economy slowed abruptly in 2012-13. Making the labour market work better and strengthening product‑market competition would help foster firms’ competitiveness, overcome strong demographic headwinds and boost both short- and longer-term economic prospects. While substantial progress has been made in these areas since the nineties, important weaknesses are still restraining the country’s economic potential.
