Education at a Glance 2014: Highlights offers a reader-friendly introduction to the OECD’s collection of internationally comparable data on education. As the name suggests, it is derived from Education at a Glance 2014, the OECD’s flagship compendium of education statistics. However, it differs from that publication in a number of ways, most significantly in its structure, which is made up of six sections that explore the following topics: education levels and student numbers, higher education and work, the economic and social benefits of education, paying for education, the school environment, and skills for life.
