  • Chile • Chile Has One of the Smallest Shares of Tertiary-Educated Adults Across OECD Countries

    Chile • Chile Has One of the Smallest Shares of Tertiary-Educated Adults Across OECD Countries

    Education at a Glance: OECD Indicators (OECD, 2019[1]) is the authoritative source for information on the state of education around the world. It provides data on the structure, finances and performance of education systems in OECD and partner countries. Chile • Chile has one of the smallest shares of tertiary-educated adults across OECD countries. However, those who do attain a higher education enjoy above-average labour-market benefits. • Chile devotes 1.2% of its gross domestic product (GDP) to financing ECEC, one of the largest shares across OECD countries. Although enrolment in early childhood education and care (ECEC) has been increasing in recent years in Chile, it is still lower than on average across OECD countries. • The teaching workforce is young in Chile but working conditions are difficult: student-teacher ratios and statutory working hours are among the highest across OECD countries from pre-primary to upper secondary levels. This may discourage individuals from entering and remaining in the profession. • Chile’s total expenditure per student on primary to tertiary educational institutions is low and a large share of it is covered by private sources, particularly at tertiary level.
