This publication provides comparable statistics and indicators on education across the 15 member states of the European Union. The main source of data is the joint UOE (UNESCO, Organisation for Economic Development, Eurostat) revised questionnaire on education statistics introduced in 1995. Educational attainment information draws on data from the 1995 Community Labour Force Survey. Statistics refer to public and private, full-and part-time education in the ordinary school and university system. The report has eight sections. Section A briefly examines the link between the national education systems and internationally comparable statistics. Sections B (enrollment), C (new entrants to higher education), and D (graduates) deal with students in 1993/94. Section E focuses on educational attainment levels of the population in 1995. Section F looks at teaching staff in 1993/94. Section G provides a time series for certain variables (enrollment trends, female participation, and vocational education enrollment) for 1975/76-1993/94. Section H contains demographic data, including population scenarios up to the year 2020. The publication is written in German, English, and French. (MLH)
