The present volume is one of a series intended to provide a comparative view of the education systems of member countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Published in response to a need for a conversion key so that national data could be readily converted on the basis of a standardized system, its purpose is to assist OECD member countries in the development of their educational statistics and to provide a basis for the collection of internationally comparable statistics. The types of education and institutions in each country were listed, and explanatory information was compiled. The evaluation criteria included length of studies, admission requirements, qualifications conferred and the possibility of transfer to other types of education, organization of studies on a full-time or part-time basis, and any other information of possible interest. Each type of education or institution has been reclassified under the OECD system, both from the standpoint of standardized designation and in terms of its position on the educational ladder by year of study. This volume deals with England and Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. A short bibliography following each country gives sources of information regarding the educational institutions.
