National Education Systems - XML

National education systems take diverse forms reflecting each country's history, culture, and socio-economic conditions. This dataset systematically organizes compulsory education duration (years, starting age, ending age) and types of higher education institutions (universities, junior colleges, vocational schools, colleges of technology, etc.) across countries worldwide. Focusing primarily on OECD countries, it compares education systems of developed and emerging nations, showing variations in compulsory education length and diversity of higher education institutions. This serves as foundational data useful for educational policy development, international comparative research, and study abroad destination selection.
