We are just digging up the latest version of Jonathan's spreadsheet to send to you — the very large one with patches of orange for data we do not have. Also — in case you are interested — below is a summary of and link to UNESCO's Global Education Digest for 2009. I am hoping that this report will help us with some of the countries in the SRF report for which we were missing education data. Please note that it also calculates expenditure per student in US dollars and as a percentage of GDP per capita. Thanks! - Daniela Highlights from the UNESCO Global Education Digest 2009 UNESCO has released the 2009 edition of its Global Education Digest, which presents the latest education statistics from primary to tertiary education levels for more than 200 countries. Data are provided for the school year ending in 2007 or the latest year available, as well as for 2008 for a small number of countries. The total number of globally mobile students reached 2.8 million in 2007, 44% of whom came from the top 15 sending countries. Host countries are even more concentrated: the top six countries hosted 62% of the world's mobile students in 2007. The U.S. hosted 21% of the world's mobile students in 2007, down from 25% in 1999. Students from Western Europe and East Asia were the most likely to study within their world region of origin, and students from the Arab states and South and West Asia were the most likely to travel to other world regions to study. http://www.uis.unesco.org/ev.php?
