Eurostat. Eurostat Statistics: Education and Training | Country: Iceland | Eurostat Variable: Pupils learning English at ISCED level 1 as % of..., 1998 - 2012. Data Planet™ Statistical Datasets: A SAGE Publishing Resource Dataset-ID: 065-001-008 Dataset: Presents a series of education indicators on the European Union member states, European Free Trade Association countries, EU candidate countries, several southeast European countries, as well as Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development member states outside Europe and other countries. Statistics are provided that track progress toward meeting the common European goals in education and training, originally agreed upon in Lisbon in 2001 and periodically revised subsequently. Other tables include indicators on teachers and trainers, mathematics, science and technology enrollments and graduates, investments in education and training, participation rates in education by age and sex, foreign-language learning, and student mobility. Classifications are based on the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) 1997. Also presented are several indicators of progress toward implementation of the Bologna process, an intergovernmental reform initiative that involves the European Commission, the Council of Europe and UNESCO-CEPES (European Centre for Higher Education/Centre Européen pour l'Enseignement Supérieur), as well as representatives of higher education institutions, students, staff, employers and quality assurance agencies. Provides harmonized, national-level data on the euro area, European Union (EU) member states, EU candidate states, and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries, where available. Indicators are presented in seven broad categories: economy and finance; population and social conditions; industry, trade, and services; agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; international trade; transportation; environment and energy; and science and technology. The euro area comprises the EU member states that adopted the euro as their common currency, which was established in January 1999 with 11 countries and has expanded to 17 countries known as the EA-17: Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland. The EU (EU-27) includes the EA-17 countries plus: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. EFTA currently comprises Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. For further information on the countries included in the statistics presented in this dataset, please visit http://ec.europa.eu.ezproxy.library.tufts.edu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Main_Page . Data are provided by national statistical authorities to Eurostat, where they are harmonized using European-wide methodologies. Data are released at the indicator level on a schedule maintained by Eurostat; hence, currency may vary across indicators. Periodicity is annual for all indicators; monthly and quarterly data is also provided where available. http://ec.europa.eu.ezproxy.library.tufts.edu/eurostat/estat-navtree-portlet-prod/BulkDownloadListing Category: Education, International Relations and Trade Subject: Education, European Union, Labor Force, Human Capital Source: Eurostat Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union (EU) located in Luxembourg. Eurostat was established in 1953 to meet the requirements of the Coal and Steel Community. Over the years its task has broadened, and it became a Directorate-General (DG) of the European Commission when the European Community was founded in 1958. Eurostat’s key role is to supply comparable statistics on European Union member state and candidate and European Free Trade Association countries to other DGs and supply the Commission and other European Institutions with data so they can define, implement, and analyze EU policies. Eurostat does not collect data; rather, the agency’s role is to consolidate data sent from the statistical authorities of member states and ensure they are comparable, harmonized according to Europe-wide methodologies. With the development of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the establishment of the euro as the single currency, Eurostat now publishes economic indicators for the whole euro-zone. http://ec.europa.eu.ezproxy.library.tufts.edu/eurostat
