"The State of Education" statistical analysis module has been updated with 2006–2007 data from the UNESCO Institute of Statistics (UIS). The module includes charts, maps, and “Top 10” lists that users can download and copy into reports and presentations. It is divided into two parts:
•     Access, which includes analysis of data on enrollment rates and out-of-school children in pre-primary, primary, secondary, and tertiary education; and
•     Quality, which includes analysis of repetition, primary completion, and adult literacy rates, as well as pupil-teacher ratios and universal primary completion status.

Student learning outcome indicators now available The EdStats Web site now allows users to access student learning outcomes indicators collected through PISA, TIMSS, and PIRLS. Mean PISA student performance scores, together with the percentage of students at the highest and lowest proficiency levels for reading, science, and mathematics, are available for all countries participating in PISA for 2000, 2003, and 2006. Mean TMSS performance scores for fourth- and eighth-grade students are also available for 1995, 1999, and 2003, as well as the percentage of students who met the low and advanced 2003 TIMSS international benchmarks in mathematics and science. In addition, PIRLS reading achievement scores for fourth-grade students can be accessed for 2001 and 2006, plus the percentage of students who met the low and advanced 2006 PIRLS international benchmarks in reading achievement.
