"Education at a Glance: OECD Indicators is the authoritative source for accurate and relevant information on the state of education around the world. It provides data on the structure, finances, and performance of education systems in the OECD's 34 member countries, as well as a number of partner countries.
In the 2014 edition, new material includes:
• Data from the Survey of Adult Skills, a product of the OECD Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), on attainment, employment, intergenerational education mobility, earnings, and social outcomes related to skills proficiency.
• New indicators on private institutions, on what it takes to become a teacher, and on the availability of, and participation in, professional development activities for teachers.
• Data from the 2013 OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) in several indicators.
• Analysis of the impact of the recent economic crisis on the interplay among educational attainment, employment, earnings and public finance.
• More in-depth information related to upper secondary completion rates.
• A detailed examination of the types and use of student loans.
• For the first time, data from Colombia and Latvia."

More recent data on the economic crisis, showing that education remains the best protection against unemployment;
More detailed data on programme orientation (general versus vocational) in secondary and tertiary education;
An analysis of how work status (full-time, part-time, involuntary part-time) is related to individuals' level of education;
A review of the relationship between fields of education and tuition fees, unemployment rates and earnings premiums;
An indicator showing how many of the students who enter a tertiary programme ultimately graduate from it;
An indicator on the relationship between educational attainment and two health-related concerns, obesity and smoking; and
