Education at a Glance "provides data on the structure, finances, and performance of education systems in the OECD's 34 member countries, as well as a number of non-member G20 nations. Featuring more than 140 charts, 230 tables, and 100 000 figures, 'Education at a Glance' provides key information on the ouput of educational institutions; the impact of learning across countries; the financial and human resources invested in education; access, participation and progression in education; and the learning environment and organisation of schools. In the 2012 edition, new indicators focus on: the effect of the global recession on education expenditures; the state of early childhood education systems around the world; intergenerational mobility in higher education among different socio-economic groups; the impact of education on macroeconomic outcomes, such as GDP; the specific factors that influence the level of education spending in different countries; [...]; the impact of examinations on access to secondary and higher education."
