Maps with international education statistics

Maps are a powerful tool to visualize statistics. This site uses maps for cross-country comparisons of data like national primary school enrollment rates, shown in the map below.

Primary school net enrollment rate, 2002/2003

Data source: UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). 2005. Global Education Digest 2005. Montreal: UIS.

Here is a list of articles on this site that include maps with international education statistics:

• Pre-primary school enrollment
• Primary school enrollment
• Gender disparity in primary school
  
• Secondary school enrollment
• Gender disparity in secondary school
• School life expectancy
• Primary completion rate

My recently updated guide to creating maps with Stata shows how the Stata statistical package and its tmap module can be used to create these and other maps.
