Information systems (UNESCO)
Decision-makers need reliable information on schools, students, personnel and resources
Too often, the data produced is limited to an all too sparse statistical yearbook. Good management presupposes not just the collection, but also the evaluation of the information needs of users.
It also calls for the selection, organization, presentation, and communication of indicators that can make a difference in decision-making.
Technical support is provided by UNESCO to countries seeking to improve their educational information systems. IIEP assists them in:
- evaluating their information needs improving procedures for collecting and processing data
-supporting statistical publications and systems of indicators that will better serve the end users.

PISA : Program for International Student Assessment
http://www.pisa.oecd.org
Program for International Student Assessment PISA .. OECD Programme
Are students well prepared to meet the challenges of the future? Are they able to analyse, reason and communicate their ideas effectively? Do they have the capacity to continue learning throughout life? Parents, students, the public and those who run education systems continually ask these questions.
PISA, a three-yearly survey (2000, 2003, 2006...) of 15-year-olds in the principal industrialised countries, provides some answers. It assesses how far students near the end of compulsory education have acquired some of the knowledge and skills that are essential for full participation in society.

Projection of uSA Education Statistics to 2013
http://nces.ed.gov/programs/projections/index.asp
Projection of uSA Education Statistics to 2013
Total public and private elementary and secondary school enrollment reached a record 54 million in fall 2001, representing a 19 percent increase since fall 1988. Between 2001 and 2013, a further increase of 5 percent is expected, with increases projected in both public and private schools. In the regions, increases are expected in the West, South, and Midwest, and a decrease is expected in the Northeast.

Media in the Lives of 8-18 Year-olds
http://www.kff.org/entmedia/entmedia030905pkg.cfm
Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8-18 Year-olds
A national Kaiser Family Foundation survey found children and teens are spending an increasing amount of time using ?ew media?like computers, the Internet and video games, without cutting back on the time they spend with ?ld?media like TV, print and music.
The study, Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8-18 Year-olds, examined media use among a nationally (USA) representative sample of more than 2,000 3rd through 12th graders who completed detailed questionnaires, including nearly 700 self-selected participants who also maintained seven-day media diaries.
Found that students in grades 3-12 spend an average of six hours and twenty-one minutes plugged in to some type of media each day. Accounting for multitasking, the figure jumps to about eight and a half hours when you include nearly four hours of TV viewing and forty-nine minutes of video game play. Comparatively, homework gets slightly less than fifty minutes of attention.
For this digital generation, electronic media is increasingly seductive, influential, and pervasive, yet most schools treat the written word as the only means of communication worthy of study. Therefore, most American students remain poorly equipped to think critically about, and express themselves through, the media that defines them.

Rankings of the States 2004 and Estimates of School
http://www.nea.org/edstats/images/05rankings.pdf
Rankings of the (USA) States 2004 and Estimates of School Statistics 2005
NEA Research June 2005
The data presented in this combined report―Rankings & Estimates―provide facts about the extent local, state, and national governments commit resources to public education. As one might expect in as diverse as the United States?ith respect to economics, geography, and politics?he level of commitment education varies on a state-by-state basis. Regardless of these variations, improvements in public education measured by summary statistics.
Thus, NEA Research offers this report to its state and local affiliates as researchers, policymakers, and the public as a tool to examine public education programs and services.

Policymakers, educators, and individual parents are working hard to improve our schools, and they deserve respect and gratitude for taking on such a difficult challenge. However, education leaders are often forced to make critical decisions based on incomplete information, simply because there hasn't been a national, easily searchable clearinghouse for education information and analysis-until now.

PISA Study by OECD
http://www.pisa.oecd.org/
International survey of education standards : by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development) is known as PISA.
It compares the performance of 15-year-olds in maths, literacy and science and comes out every three years.
Are students well prepared to meet the challenges of the future? Are they able to analyse, reason and communicate their ideas effectively? Do they have the capacity to continue learning throughout life?
These are questions that parents, students, the public and those who run education systems continually ask. PISA, a three-yearly survey (PISA 2000, PISA 2003, PISA 2006...) of the knowledge and skills of 15-year-olds in the principal industrialised countries, provides some answers.

Annual Survey of Trends in Education (UK 2004)
http://www.nfer.ac.uk/research/surveyoftrends.asp
Annual Survey of Trends in Education
This survey, the tenth Annual Survey of Trends in Education from NFER, based on responses from over 600 primary headteachers, provides a unique insight into their views on a variety of current issues in education. Budgets have been a top priority in previous years, and the percentage of heads citing this as a concern this year is the highest since the survey began. Other areas for concern include expenditure on administrative support, as well as a lack of time and resources for teachers' professional development. In this survey, for the first time, heads were asked for their views on the balance of the curriculum; the most common changes they would like to make include: more time on creative subjects; more cross-curricular work; and greater flexibility in the curriculum.
The survey reveals that Primary heads feel that interactive whiteboards and the internet have the potential to improve teaching and learning, although only half the Heads actually had an interactive whiteboard in their school. The majority of heads also feel that, potentially, teaching and learning could be improved via the use of email, the school intranet and the LEA intranet. The survey reports that very few schools in the survey had access to videoconferencing or integrated learning systems and less than half of the heads perceived these forms of technology as having the potential to improve teaching and learning.

US Statistics 2003
http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030811-100201-6119r.htm
The 2003 U.S. Census report crunched the education numbers - One out of every four U.S. residents over the age of three is a student. The number of schoolchildren is more than 53 million. Among children ages 5-17, 10 percent attend private school; 850,000 are home-schooled, and 267,000 students attend the 1,010 charter schools nationwide.
Ninety-eight percent of our schools have Internet access ?that figure was 50 percent in 1995. Four out of five children ages 6-17 use computers at school, with four children, on average, sharing one school computer. Two out of three have access to a computer at home.

Education Resource Organizations Directory (USA)
http://bcol02.ed.gov/Programs/EROD/

If you're a teacher, you can use the Education Resource Organizations Directory to find organizations that provide information and assistance on many education-related topics, such as multicultural education, at risk persons, standards, teaching methods, and much more. Try starting with keyword "teachers." (You'll probably retrieve far too many records with this broad a search, but it will get you started!) You can also utilize the advanced search option to find organizations that provide curriculum guide services.
If you're a librarian, you can access the Education Resource Organizations Directory to help patrons find resource organizations on a whole host of education-related topics. You can search on "library agency" to find out which libraries have ERIC collections. To find ERIC collections in your area, try searching "library agency" and "your state" as a simple search.
