  • 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.

The author has completed the ICMJE form and declares no conflicts of interest. The story of research on multiple sclerosis in Norway starts in 1945 at a private Catholic hospital in the town of Hamar, where the ophthalmologist Marius Haarr was treating patients with retinal periphlebitis and neurological symptoms. He completed his doctoral degree while raising two young children as a widowed father.

The establishment of the Centre will however depend on funding from NOKUT and could be operative as soon as allocation of funding is settled. Man Wolff Skaalvik will serve as the Centre manager. There will be a leader and co-leader for each of the three working groups. Study programme leaders and student representatives from participating programs will form the working groups together with representatives from the consortium participants. The three consortium participants will set up a governance structure which will be in place when the project starts. A steering committee with members from the consortium partners, students, and the Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities (KS) will be established for 5 years and report to the Faculty Board and NOKUT.

  • THE DEFINITION and CLASSIFICATION of EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES: the PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION of ISCED the Definition and Classification of Educational Programmes CHAPTER 5
    Chapter 5 THE DEFINITION AND CLASSIFICATION OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES: THE PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF ISCED The Definition and Classification of Educational Programmes CHAPTER 5 5.1 Introduction This chapter covers the conceptual, definitional and classification issues concerning educational programmes. It is organised in three parts. The first part begins with an overview of the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) which provides the foundation for internationally comparative education statistics and goes on to set out the definitions and classifications that apply to educational programmes within it. The second part then sets out in detail how educational programmes are allocated within each ISCED level, considering the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The final part shows how ISCED-97 is operationalised by detailing how each OECD countries’ national educational programmes are in practice mapped to the ISCED-97 classification. These mappings are reviewed on an ongoing basis and so may have been revised since publication of this book; the up to date mappings can be found on the OECD website at www.oecd.org/edu. 5.2 Overview of ISCED-97 ISCED is at the heart of international statistics on education and has been since it was first designed by UNESCO in the early 1970s to serve as ‘an instrument suitable for assembling, compiling and presenting statistics of education both within individual countries and internationally’. The first ISCED (hereafter referred to as ISCED-76) became operational from 1976. The increasing complexity of education systems over the next 20 years, often reflecting more choice between types of programmes and modes of attendance, imposed new difficulties for the international comparability of education statistics and many of these changes could no longer be adequately reflected in data collected under ISCED-76.
