This document is a report titled "Education at a Glance 2014" that analyzes trends in higher education across various countries from 1995 to 2012. It shows that over this period, there was a marked rise in qualification levels for higher education but not necessarily in foundation skills. It also finds that graduation rates from academic tertiary programs increased substantially in most countries. Additionally, it shows trends of increasing expenditures per student in tertiary education as well as increasing rates of students entering and graduating from university programs.
