Taking the students’ perspective, Education Policy Outlook 2018: Putting Student Learning at the Centre analyses the evolution of key education priorities and key education policies in 43 education systems. It compares more recent developments in education policy ecosystems (mainly between 2015 and 2017) with various education policies adopted between 2008 and 2014. This report includes around 200 policies spanning from early childhood education and care (ECEC) to higher education and lifelong learning on topics such as: improving the quality and access to ECEC, promoting education success for all students, reducing the negative impact of some system-level policies and practices, increasing completion of upper secondary education, developing quality vocational education and training, enhancing the quality of tertiary education, supporting transitions across education pathways and the labour market.
Executive summary
Education can boost the overall quality of life of each individual, as well as help economies to be stronger, fairer and more resilient. Today, globalisation brings new opportunities and challenges in education, as countries must equip students with the necessary skills to live and work in a more interconnected world. Understanding this, OECD education systems strive to implement education policies that can help people in countries around the world to access better life chances.
