Putnam National Center for Education Statistics U.S. Department of Education T. H. Bell Secretary Office of Educational Research and Improvement Dick W. Hays.o Acting Assistant Secretary National Center for Education Statistics Marie D. Eldridge Administrator NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS "The purpose of the Center shall be to collect and disseminate statistics and other data related to education in the United States and in other nations. The Center shall . .. collect, collate, and, from time to time, report full and complete statistics on the, conditions of education in the United States; conduct and publish reports on specialized analyses of the meaning and significance of such statistics; . .. and review and. report on education activities in foreign countries."--Section 406(b) of the General Education Provisions Act, as amended (20 U.S.C. 122 le-1). "The Secretary shall, insofar as practicable, develop standard definitions and terms . .. to be used by all Federal agencies in dealing with education-related information and data acquisition recjuests."--Section 400 A. (d)(1) of the General Education Provisions Act, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1221e-1). Drafts of this manuscript were developed by Government Studies and Systems, Inc. under contract No. OEC-0-74-9264 with the National Center for Education Statistics. Jerome Ackerman served as Project Director. FOREWORD This handbook is a resource publication designed to encourage standardization in the use of terms and defini- lions by the numerous agencies, institutions, and organizations which provide, set policy for, support, and/or regu- late postsecondary education. Although recent years have seen several successful attempts to develop term-inology systems for colleg and university students, this handbook reflects the first major effort to organize and consolidate terminology for the full range of postsecondary students, including technical and vocational school students as well as students engaged in various forms of adult education and nontraditional study. Contained in the handbook- are terms and'definitions for data elements and qualifiers. The handbook also con- tains narrative sections designed to facilitate the adoption of the terminology in information systems and to provide guidelines for protecting the confidentiality. of student records. It is anticipated that this handbook will assist planners, administrators, and other docisionmiakers by p roviding a common language which can contribute to a higher quality of data and to more efficient informiation management. Representing the best thinking of scores of persons knowledgeable in the field, the handbook is designed to expand, change, and grow as the field of postsec- ondary education itself embarks on an era of growth and change. * Development of the handbook resulted from a cooperative process. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), through a contract with Government Studies & Systems, inc., coordinated the input of hundreds of persons* directly involved in many aspects of postsecondary education throughout the Nation. An outline of pro- cedures followed in the project-in~cluding mention of specific committees and panels-may be found in appendix L, pages 163-166. While space does not permit the naming of all individuals and organizations contributing to this handbook, major participants are acknowledged on page. iv and in appendix N, pages 169-186. The project's Planning Committee played a particularly significant role in refining project procedures and re- viewing project materials.. This committee was comprised of persons representing the following organizations: Adult Education Association of the U.S.A. American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers American Association of Community and Junior Colleges American Council on Education American Vocational Association Education Commission of the States National Association of Trade and Technical Schools National Center for Education Statistics National Center for Higher Education Management Systems National Vocational Guidance Association Appreciation is expressed to these organizations and their representatives.

This new edition, which now also includes Farsi, is intended as a handy tool for admissions officers, credentials analysts and registrars, the Index of Educational Terms focuses on the most commonly used terms found on international academic records.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

  • Transforming Secondary Education in Pakistan Using Flipped Classrooms
    Transforming Secondary Education in Pakistan Using Flipped Classrooms EDKASA (pronounced ed-kasa) leverages rapid speed of internet penetration in Pakistan to make quality teachers accessible for secondary education. Using a flipped classroom model, EDKASA plans to deploy 500 franchises to distribute its ‘live teaching web-streams’ reaching 20,000 secondary students by 2020. The Challenge Improving secondary education outcomes has a direct impact on poverty reduction. UNESCO reports that the global poverty rate can be halved if all adults completed secondary education1. Pakistan has more than 15 million out of school secondary students1. A major reason for this is insufficient number of secondary schools – only 1 in 9 government schools is a secondary school2. In addition, of those who do attend secondary schools, more than half do not graduate1. The widespread availability of internet in Pakistan can potentially transform secondary education outcomes. 90% of the population will have access to 3G/4G internet by 20203. However, ownership of internet enabled devices is expected to significantly lag behind due to low disposable income. Hence, any education delivery solution that wants to leverage internet needs to be designed for a low-resource setting. The EDKASA Solution EDKASA is an edtech startup based in Lahore, Pakistan that connects students with ‘Rock Star’ teachers using its live, interactive virtual classroom platform. EDKASA wants to expand into the secondary education segment using a franchise-based model that makes EDKASA’s live web-streams accessible without having to own an internet-enabled device. EDKASA envisions deploying a network of low-cost franchises that will create flipped classrooms to distribute EDKASA’s live teaching web-streams at physical locations.
