Basic data on the Austrian school system

Educational statistics represent an important basis for constant education system redevelopment, for quality assurance and for an evidence-based education policy.

The bilingual series of publications titled Statistics in your pocket – Schools and Adult education (formerly Zahlenspiegel/Statistical Guide) are a useful source of information for anyone interested in the subject of education, as a result of the clear format for key statistical data from the school system and adult education.
