EAG 2008: Three main findings r
2008 edition of Education a Glance Education Indicators Programme
A rising tide in the demand for high-level qualifications
8 million more students in tertiary systems than back in 1995 (share of age cohort moving into university level education rose from 37% to 57%) Strong labour-market incentives suggest further expansion – Large and often growing earnings and employment differentials – Growth in skilled jobs
r
Current approaches to the financing of higher education under pressure
r
In spite of recent and considerable increases in spending levels, expenditure in some countries could not keep up with rising demand, particularly in countries finding difficulties mobilising private resources
Spending patterns can be explained by policy choices
Link between spending levels and outcomes tenuous

So what? Has the increasing supply of well-educated labour been matched by the creation of high-paying jobs? Will one day everyone have a university degree but work for the minimum wage?
Proportion of the population in skilled jobs and proportion with tertiary qualifications (2006) Skilled jobs (ISCO 1-3)
Tertiary attainment (5B, 5A/6)
In OECD countries, the proportion of skilled jobs in the economy is generally larger than the potential supply of tertiary educated individuals. For countries in which work-based learning is central to occupational advancement, this difference is large. In a few countries, tertiary attainment matches or marginally exceeds the proportion of skilled jobs, so that further expansion of higher education will to some extent depend on the growth of skilled jobs in the coming years.

Changes in skilled jobs and tertiary attainment between 1998-2006 Change in tertiary attainment (ISCED 5/6) in the 25-to-64-year-old population between 1998 and 2006 Change in skilled occupations (ISCO 1-3) in the 25-to-64-year-old population between 1998 and 2006 Difference between skilled jobs and tertiary educated in the 25-to-64-year-old population (2006) 30
For countries with large differences in skilled jobs and tertiary attainment levels, the fundamental question is whether higher growth in skilled occupations could be achieved if more individuals with tertiary education were available to the labour market or whether labour market experience and adult learning is sufficient to provide the necessary skills.

Teacher compensation cost per student varies from 3.9% of GDP per capita in the Slovak Republic (less than half the OECD average rate of 10.9%) to over five times that rate in Portugal (20.9%, nearly twice the OECD average). Four factors influence these trends – salary level, instruction time for students, teaching time of teachers and average class size – so that a given level of compensation cost per student as a percentage of GDP per capita per student can result from quite different combinations of the four factors.

Compared with 15-year-old students who had not, at the age of 10, read books on scientific discoveries, students who had done so performed, on average, 45 score points higher in the PISA 2006 science assessment, more than the equivalent of a school year, and this advantage remained significant, at 35 score points, even after taking into account socio-economic factors (one school year corresponds to an average of 38 score points on the PISA science scale).
