ISCED mappings 2014
First year of:
sending of ISCED mappings to Eurostat according to the Regulation (compulsory, within Quality reports)
"full" ISCED mappings, i.e. four sheets
Compliance with the deadline (31 January 2015):
20 countries (18 EU out of 28), some in February
mappings from 4 EU countries still missing
Education and Training Statistics Working Group – June 2015 5

6. Quality of ISCED mappings 2014
Remark: 2014 mappings were not reviewed as those for 2013; only roughly "validated"
Sheet 1: Compulsory and free education
rather well filled in; sometimes problems with: "free education", information in terms of grades
Sheet 2: Scope UOE
enrolments not always updated (or some proxies..)
new programmes - rare
new numeration of programmes
Education and Training Statistics Working Group – June 2015 6

7. Quality of ISCED mappings 2014 - cont.
Sheet 3: Qualifications outside scope UOE
filled in for 12 EU (+3) countries
information on 3 – 26 qualifications
some countries explicitly inform that there are no such qualifications/validations of competencies, for other – probably information is difficult to be gathered 
improvements certainly needed.. (also taking account the new strategy for recognition of competencies)
Education and Training Statistics Working Group – June 2015

8. Quality of ISCED mappings 2014 - cont.
Sheet 4: Old qualifications
filled in for 17 (+3) countries
information on 2 – 38 qualifications
difficult sheet  a work needed with the Ministry of Education
the most relevant - for surveys (educational attainment)
filling in this sheet – maybe in some countries still possible in next weeks?...
Thank you very much to national ISCED coordinators for their good work!
