Synopsis

At a time of general and growing concern about the substance, effectiveness, and cost of education, guidelines for its evaluation are essential for understanding and policy. This volume presents what is currently known about the organization, development, measurement, and uses of international education indicators. The political contexts within which these indicators are used for informing policy makers receive particular attention. The chapters are thematically grouped to address conceptual and analytical issues in the development and implementation of different types of indicators, including indicators of learning, student achievement, and particular educational outcomes such as labor market destinations, as well as the uses and abuses of reporting and interpreting international educational indicators.
