Learning Outcomes

New UIS Website Goes Live

The new site represents a radical shift in the way we present our data. Rather than sending our visitors to complex databases, the new site focuses on the kind of information that people want in the era of the Sustainable Development Goals, packaged in the way that is most useful for them.

The biggest innovation has been to ‘unpack’ the UIS database, breaking down the once separate siloes of hard data, analysis (reports) and the story-telling provided by data visualisations and other tools. Now our web users can see the data in context.

ISCED Mappings

Les cartographies de la CITE sont des produits d'un processus interactif entre l'ISU et les États membres afin de cartographier les systèmes éducatifs nationaux selon la Classification internationale type de l’éducation (CITE).

Ces cartographies sont des outils essentiels pour organiser l'information sur les systèmes éducatifs nationaux, leurs programmes et les qualifications associées afin d'assurer la comparabilité internationale des statistiques et des indicateurs de l'éducation et aider les analystes à les comprendre et les interpréter.
