Comparative & International Education Resources
Comparisons in education systems, governance, and outcomes are of great interest in today's global economy. The kinds of
preparation and the opportunities provided for a country's citizens vary significantly. The resources in print and on
the Web will help round out the picture of world wide education. It is important, however, to recognize that very large
databases often have information that is slightly behind the current situation.
