Umschlagtext
What does the OECD have to say about the state of education today? What are the main OECD messages on early childhood education, teacher policies and tertiary education? What about student performance, educational spending and equity in education? OECD work on these important education topics and others have been brought together in a single accessible source updating the first edition of Education Today which came out in March 2009.



Organised into eight chapters, this report examines early childhood education, schooling, transitions beyond initial education, higher education, adult learning, outcomes and returns, equity, and innovation. The chapters are structured around key findings and policy directions emerging from recent OECD educational analyses. Each entry highlights the main message in a concise and accessible way, with a brief explanation and reference to the original OECD source.
Rezension
Auf welchem Stand ist die Bildung heute? Wie sieht es mit der frühkindlichen Erziehung, Schulpolitik und dem tertiären Bildungsbereich aus? Wie werden Schülerleistungen, Bildungsausgaben und Bildungschancen heute eingeschätzt? "Education Today. The OECD Perspective 2010" fasst diese und andere wichtige Aspekte aus dem Bildungsbereich in einer einzigen, gut verständlichen Publikation zusammen. Der Bericht untersucht die frühe Kindheit, schulische Ausbildung und die Übergänge über die Primärausbildung hinaus. Er befasst sich mit Hochschulbildung, Erwachsenenbildung, lebenslangem Lernen, Bildungsergebnissen sowie Bildungszugang und dem Wissensmanagement.
