Educational issues across the different member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) are compared in this report. The OECD is made up of 26 developed countries. The indicators used in this analysis cover the years 1985 to 1991, a 7-year time series to study trends in policy. The indicators in this report provide data on how close the United States is to meeting its own educational goals defined in the National Education Goals of 1990, as well as how the country compares to other nations. Highlighted in the report are the basic components of education, including enrollment, expenditures, and outcomes. By examining economic and demographic characteristics, the education system of each country is placed in its proper context. The 12 indicators are grouped into 5 sections: (1) the social and economic context of education; (2) participation in education; (3) human and financial resources; (4) system outcomes; and (5) labor market outcomes. Most countries showed increases in educational participation, enrollment in tertiary education, expenditures on public education, expenditures per student, and first degree graduation rates. However, the percentage of graduate degrees awarded in most OECD countries in the sciences dropped overall between 1985 and 1991. An attachment contains supplemental notes and tables.
