Present dashboard is aimed at providing comprehensive visual analysis of the dataset developed on the basis of the research "Projection of populations by level of educational attainment, age, and sex for 120 countries for 2005-2050" (Samir KC et al., 2010) (http://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol22/15/22-15.pdf). The full dataset is available through the link below.
The four categories of educational attainment are based on International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED 1997). They are: no education (E1) - no formal education or less than one year primary; primary (E2) - uncompleted primary, completed primary (ISCED 1), and uncompleted lower secondary; secondary (E3) - completed lower secondary (ISCED 2), uncompleted and completed higher secondary (ISCED 3/4), and uncompleted tertiary education; tertiary (E4) - completed tertiary education (ISCED 5/6).
Education scenarios illustrate different situations resulting from various policy environments and trends of global human capital. Constant enrollment number (CEN) is a worst-case variant, which assumes that the number of population groups by gender transiting from one education level to another remains constant over time. Constant enrollment ratio (CER) scenario is similar to the previous one but instead of constant number of population groups it assumes constant proportion of population groups by gender. In the global education trend (GET) scenario future development of a country's education level is based on historical global trend. The fast-track (FT) scenario, which is, in contrast to CEN, an optimistic one, assumes that countries accelerate rate of growth of educational development if they do not meet certain stated targets in attainment by certain years.

US Prison Costs Grossly Exceed Public Education Spending

The decrease in the national crime rate in the US during the past two decades was insufficient to offset the cost to US taxpayers to manage prisons because of the simultaneous increase in the rate of incarceration during the period. Between 1991 and 2013, the national crime rate fell from 1,311 to 689 offenses per 100,000 people. In absolute terms, 8.5 million fewer crimes were committed in 2013 compared to 1991. While the crime rate decreased, the number of state inmates grew by 200 percent nationwide, reaching a total incarcerated population of 1.6 million in 2008. Another 723,131...

United States: Higher Education Costs Flat in 2018

In 2018, not only did tuition rates for US higher education hold relatively flat, but US state and local government spending on higher education grew in line with inflation for a total contribution of $99 billion, according to the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association. Government funding for higher education tumbled in the aftermath of the 2007-2008 global financial crisis, but has since rebounded, growing approximately 20 percent in the last 5 years. Some would argue that while these trends are positive, they are not enough. With an increasing focus on...

World's Best Universities in Computer Science

ETH Zurich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, claimed the top spot in the 2016-2017 Times Higher Education World University Ranking of computer science institutions based on its strong performance across all three pillars of the overall score. In teaching alone, the university gained three positions since last year’s ranking. The university is now the only institution from outside the US and the UK to emerge among the top 10 in the overall world university ranking and the top 5 in one of the eight subject-matter rankings. The traditional dominance of world renowned...
