There is updated 2010 data at www.barrolee.com for ~140 countries. This dataset goes only through 2000, and it only has data for 100 countries.

This is absolutely incorrect.

In the Netherlands, people go to school for at least 12 years, according to the law. No way you can avoid that. So the average amount of years you are in school, must be between 12 and 18. I have no clue where UNESCO got these numbers from.

The US has a partial school year with several lengthy vacations and many days off school. When tallying the days children in the US are in the classroom, it amounts to less than 1/2 of a year. Our school years are actually 6, not 12. Please make adjustments to these 'statistics'.

Norm

I don't understand these stats. The definition "is years of formal schooling, on average, by adults over age 15." So in the US the average person goes to school until age 27. So the average person graduates from high school at age 18. They do undergraduate or trade school or equivalent for 4 years until age 22 or 23. This leaves 5 years. This would mean that the average person (50% of the population has more and 50% has less) has been in school long enough to get a Phd or some educational equivalent. I know the US has a lot of lawyers but really, that many?

I find Nation Master's data very easy to understand. Try to visit World Bank's statistics and come back. Compared to WB's pages this is really easy stuff. Great pages, thanks!

Hello all from Pakistan

Certainly this data of Average years of Schooling is a very admirable effort from Barro and Lee. This data is available at 5 years interval. My question is,

Can this data be estimated on annual basis? and How can we estimate this data annually having data of school enrolment at primary, Secondary and higher level?

I need this data for my research. Any help in this regard will be highly acknowledged.

Thank you

My child could not understand what the numbers meant. Because lots of children
go on this website for research, my suggestion is that you should make it more
clear what the statistics under 'discription' means. Thank-you

I agree, NZ is "surprisingly" 3rd place even though the legal school leaving age is 15 and quite a few people usually leave by 16...
