The main aim of this publication is to provide comparable statistics and indicators on education for thirty two countries. These are the fifteen current Member States of the European Union, two EEA countries (Iceland and Norway), the 10 acceding countries, the three candidate countries and two South-East European Countries (Albania and Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia). The main data source are the Eurostat education data collections built around the joint UOE (UIS, OECD, Eurostat) tables on pupils and students, teaching staff and finance complemented with special EU tables on enrolment at regional level and foreign language learning in schools. Most data refer to the academic year 2000/2001. The statistics refer to public and private, full-time and part-time education in the regular school and university system as defined by the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED), UNESCO, 1997. Other Eurostat sources are used in the publication to describe the context and main outcomes of education. Indicators on enterprise training are also presented from the 2nd Continuing Vocational Training Survey (CVTS2), which is the only source of internationally comparable data in this field.
