Education at a Glance 2020 - European Union launchEduSkills OECD
Andreas Schleicher presents new Education at a Glance data for the European Union, and puts it into the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.
Education at a Glance is the authoritative source for information on the state of education around the world. It provides data on the structure, finances and performance of education systems across OECD countries and a number of partner economies. More than 100 charts and tables in this publication – as well as links to much more available on the educational database – provide key information on the output of educational institutions; the impact of learning across countries; access, participation and progression in education; the financial resources invested in education; and teachers, the learning environment and the organisation of schools. The 2020 edition includes a focus on vocational education and training, investigating participation in vocational education and training at various levels of education, the labour market and social outcomes of vocational graduates as well as the human and financial resources invested in vocational institutions. Two new indicators on how vocational education and training systems differ around the world and on upper secondary completion rate complement this topic. A specific chapter is dedicated to the Sustainable Development Goal 4, and investigates the quality and participation in secondary education.

Dream jobs? - Teenagers' career aspirations and the future of workEduSkills OECD
Every day, teenagers make important decisions that are relevant to their future. The time and energy they dedicate to learning and the fields of study where they place their greatest efforts profoundly shape the opportunities they will have throughout their lives. A key source of motivation for students to study hard is to realise their dreams for work and life. Those dreams and aspirations, in turn, do not just depend on students’ talents, but they can be hugely influenced by the personal background of students and their families as well as by the depth and breadth of their knowledge about the world of work. In a nutshell, students cannot be what they cannot see. With young people staying in education longer than ever and the labour market automating with unprecedented speed, students need help to make sense of the world of work. In 2018, the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the world’s largest dataset on young people’s educational experiences, collected firstof- its kind data on this, making it possible to explore how much the career dreams of young people have changed over the past 20 years, how closely they are related to actual labour demand, and how closely aspirations are shaped by social background and gender.

Immigrant Students at School: Easing the Journey towards IntegrationEduSkills OECD
How school systems respond to immigration has an enormous impact on the economic and social well-being of all members of the communities they serve, whether they have an immigrant background or not. Immigrant Students at School: Easing the Journey towards Integration reveals some of the difficulties immigrant students encounter – and some of the contributions they offer – as they settle into their new communities and new schools. Results from the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) indicate that students with an immigrant background tend to perform worse in school than students without an immigrant background. Several factors are associated with this disparity, including the concentration of disadvantage in the schools immigrant students attend, language barriers and certain school policies, like grade repetition and tracking, that can hinder immigrant students’ progress through school. But successful integration is measured in more than academic achievement; immigrant students’ well-being and hopes for the future are just as telling. This report examines not only immigrant students’ aspirations and sense of belonging at school, but also recent trends in Europeans’ receptiveness to welcoming immigrants into their own countries – the context that could make all the difference in how well immigrant students integrate into their new communities. The report includes a special section on refugees and education, and an extensive discussion on education policy responses to immigration.
Education Policy Outlook - Making Reforms HappenEduSkills OECD
Education Policy Outlook in Brief Looks at education reforms across 34 OECD countries that can touch the lives of more than 150 million students. There are common trends from the more than 450 reforms adopted across countries. With the crisis they are becoming more strategic.

Reviews of National Policies for Education - Netherlands 2016EduSkills OECD
How can the Netherlands move its school system “from good to great”? This report draws on international experience to look at ways in which the strong Dutch school system might go further still on the path to excellence. Clearly the Dutch school system is one of the best in the OECD, as measured by PISA and PIAAC and is also equitable, with a very low proportion of poor performers. The report therefore proposes an incremental approach to reform, building on strengths while responding to some emerging challenges. The Netherlands should strengthen the quality of early childhood education and care, revisit policies related to early tracking with more objective testing and track decisions, and enhance the permeability of the system. It should develop the professionalism of teachers and school leaders through enhanced collective learning and working, while at the same time strengthening accountability and capacity in school boards. This report will be valuable not only for the Netherlands, but also to the many other education systems looking to raise their performance who are interested in the example of the Netherlands.
Education in Latvia - Progress, Challenges and RecommendationsEduSkills OECD
How can Latvia improve the quality and equity of its education system and realise long-term efficiency gains? This report covers the whole education system from early childhood education and care to tertiary education and provides an assessment of Latvia’s policies and practices against the best approaches in education and skills across the OECD. This international comparison brings to the fore the many strengths of Latvia’s education system, but also highlights the challenges it faces and provides a number of recommendations in response. This report will be of value to Latvia but also policy makers in other countries looking to raise the quality, equity and efficiency of their education system.

Raising Performance in Lithuanian Education - An International PerspectiveEduSkills OECD
Lithuania has achieved steady expansion of participation in education, substantially widening access to early childhood education and care and tertiary education, coupling this with nearly universal participation in secondary education. However, if Lithuania’s education system is to help the nation respond effectively to economic opportunities and demographic challenges, improvements in the performance of its schools and its higher education institutions are needed. Improved performance requires that Lithuania clarify and raise expectations of performance, align resources in support of raised performance expectations, strengthen performance monitoring and the assurance of quality, and build institutional capacity to achieve high performance. This orientation to improvement should be carried across each sector of its education system.
Mending the Education Divide: Getting strong teachers to the schools that nee...EduSkills OECD
Teachers can shape their students' educational careers. Research shows that children taught by different teachers often experience very different educational outcomes. This begs the questions: how are teachers assigned to schools in different countries? And to what extent do students from different backgrounds have access to good teachers?
Andreas Schleicher presents the latest OECD TALIS analysis that shows how teachers with different characteristics and practices tend to concentrate in different schools, and how much access students with different socio-economic backgrounds have to good teachers. He then explores how we can change education policy to distribute strong teachers more fairly.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
4. Financial inputs in higher
education increasing
• Total (public & private) financial investment grew
– Between 2005 and 2011 on average across
OECD increase of 10% in per student
expenditure and 27% in total expenditure
– With huge differences between countries,
increases higher in countries with below-average
expenditure, catching up
– Yearly per student expenditure is now 14 KUS$
– Total expenditure increased from 1.3% GDP in
2000 to 1.6% GDP in 2011

– 31% of total expenditure (0.5% GDP) comes from
private sources, mainly tuition fees
– Increase from 25% in 2000
– Total private expenditure increased with 32%
since 2005

7. • Increase in total per student expenditure slows
down since crisis
– Negative growth in almost half of countries
between 2008 and 2011
– Expenditure cannot catch up with increasing
student numbers
• Increasing concerns about levels of private
expenditure, student debt
– 5 million international students investing even
much higher amounts of money
But strong signs of stagnating
funding

9. But strong signs of stagnating
funding
Inputs
• Efficiency and value-for-money become very
important policy considerations
– Both for governments and students/families
– Cost of higher education becoming political issue
in many countries
• What are students actually ‘buying’?
– Very weak relationship between cost and actual
‘product’, benefits and outcomes
– Value-for-money depends enormously on
institution and field of study

12. • Share of tertiary educated in the population
increased, but still huge disparities across
countries
– 34% of adult population in OECD now has a
tertiary qualification, up from 22% in 2000
Outputs Increases in graduate output

• On average across OECD academic degree
gives a wage premium of 75% compared to
upper secondary educated workers
• Total net present value over lifetime is around
160 000 US$ for man, 100 000 US$ for woman
– But with huge differences across fields of study
• Or internal rate of return of 16%
• High social benefits in health, interpersonal trust,
volunteering, political participation

16. • Is graduate output higher than the economy’s
need for high-skilled labour?
– Graduate unemployment
– Filtering-down effect?
– Over-qualification and over-skilling
– Huge field-of-study mismatches
• Is polarization in labour markets, with high
employment/high earnings because of skill-
biased technological change going to last?
Outputs But increasing concerns about
quality of output
16
18. Outputs But increasing concerns about
quality of output
• Enormous differences in the skills equivalent of
tertiary qualifications
– Foundation skills such as literacy and numeracy
– Can societies accept that higher education
graduates have low literacy and numeracy skills?
18
21. 21
Outputs But increasing concerns about
quality of output
• Concerns about the quality and added-value of a
university experience
– Academically Adrift: limited improvement in
academic skills
– What is the relative contribution of selection
versus teaching and learning in the production of
high-quality graduates; what is the actual
‘learning gain’
– Doubts on the quality of the teaching and learning
experience at elite universities
26. • What do we know about how quality of teaching
and learning results in high-quality output, and
socially interesting outcomes?
• Information asymmetry: both public and private
financers of higher education have very little
understanding of what they actually are
spending money for
• Increase of investment has not been
accompanied by an empowerment of the input
side to make smart choices through better
information

27. • How to improve transparency?
– Performance management systems: essentially
bureaucratic control systems, very rarely
comparative and tuned to better decision-making
– Quality assurance arrangements: increasingly
relativistic (‘fitness-for-purpose’), bureaucratic
and inward oriented (internal QA), unfit for
external transparency, nor empowering students
– Student satisfaction surveys: empowering, but
perception-based, largely unrelated to teaching
and learning quality

28. • How to improve transparency?
– Input measures as proxies for teaching and
learning quality: above a threshold level input has
a weak relationship to quality (cfr PISA)
– Research measurement and bibliometric
indicators as proxies for teaching and learning
quality: most inaccurate, unfair to wide range of
institutions and institutional diversity
– Reputations: act as (too?) powerful tools, also in
rankings, but inaccurate, often outdated, inimical
to newcomers and innovators

29. • Sound metrics of teaching and learning are very
much needed
– To reassure governments and families about the
value-for-money of investments
– To reward institutions who invest in improving
teaching and learning and are not compensated
through other measures
– To value institutional diversification
– To reward and foster quality improvement through
mutual learning
– To compensate for the over-reliance of rankings on
research and reputation metrics

30. • What are the risks of not improving transparency?
– Erosion of the symbolic power of degrees, the only
monopoly of the higher education sector
• Employers turning to alternative modes of selection
• Emergence of alternative modes of qualification (employer
credentials, badges, recognition of prior learning, etc.)

32. • What are the risks of not improving transparency?
– Blaming the student becomes the main excuse
– Decreasing trust of governments, employers, families
and wider society in the value of higher education
• Degree inflation
• Concerns about declining standards in some countries
– Gradual erosion of the financial health of higher
education institutions if value-for-money concerns are
left unanswered
• Financial bubbles of student debt
– Markets no longer accept non-transparency
• Cfr Volkswagen

35. • We need to better understand what happens in
the teaching and learning environments in
universities
– With the investment inputs provided
– Explaining the benefits and returns and
understanding why they sometimes fail
– In order to incentivize improvements in teaching
and learning
– Empower students and families
– Restore trust

36. • Comparative assessment of learning outcomes
of graduates is the most promising approach to
measure teaching and learning excellence
– OECD’s AHELO project
– National research projects in Germany, UK, Italy
– CLA and various other initiatives in US
– OECD-CEA partnership to implement CLA+ in
countries
– European Commission supported CALOHEE
project in Tuning framework

37. • Strong resistance by parts of the academic
community, but do they have a strong case?
– No consensus on academic skills that matter
– Risk of standardization
– Institutional diversity too large to use limited number of
metrics
– Methodological concerns
– Cost and burden
• …exactly the same arguments used 20 years ago
when the PISA programme was born
• …and very similar to arguments used 10 years ago
against measuring research excellence
37

Opening the black box
38. • Developing reliable metrics of teaching and
learning excellence in universities is the next big
systemic challenge in the development of higher
education worldwide
• In the short term universities might think it’s not
in their interest and that non-transparency is the
better option
• But in the longer term that might be a very risky
approach, in which the costs largely exceed the
short-term profits
38
Black

Opening the black box
39. • The future progress of universities will not come from
– Continued massification and ever higher numbers of
students
– Continued increases in public and private funding
• But will be the outcome of better and more visible quality
improvements in teaching and learning
• The impact of teaching and learning excellence will be
similar to the way research excellence has changed the
system
