Key Data on Education 2009

This seventh edition of Key Data on Education in Europe from the Eurydice Network combines statistical data and qualitative information to describe the organisation and functioning of the education systems of 31 European countries. Based on data collected through the national units of the Eurydice network, Eurostat, and the PISA/PIRLS international education surveys, it provides an insight into how European countries address common challenges in education.

The 121 indicators in the publication provide an overall picture of the education systems and policies in place across Europe, from pre-primary to higher education level. They also address horizontal issues such as demographic trends, financing of education systems, teacher status and training, school autonomy and quality assurance. When appropriate, comparison is provided with the previous edition (published 2005) to show trends in the fast-changing European education landscape.
