The main source of data is the joint UIS/OECD/Eurostat (UOE) questionnaires on education statistics, which constitute the core database on education.

The UOE data collection on education statistics is based on the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED). The full description of ISCED 97 is available in http://www.uis.unesco.org/ev_en.php?ID=3813_201&ID2=DO_TOPIC.
