The message of this edition is clear: education is the best protection against an economic crisis. It is a person's education that determines whether he or she will be extremely or only moderately exposed to the economic and social risks in times of crisis.
OECD's annual Education at a Glance looks at who participates in education, what is spent on it, how education systems operate and the results achieved. The latter includes indicators on a wide range of outcomes, from comparisons of students’ performance in key subject areas to the impact of education on earnings and on adults’ chances of employment.
