Summary/Abstract: The paper gives an overview of OECD’s policy related activities in education from the beginnings to recent developments. Early CERI programmes aimed to find solutions to the most pressing problems of education systems by reviewing good practices across OECD countries. At the request of countries, the INES programme was established in the late 1980-ies with the aim to develop an indicator system that can describe the main characteristics of education systems, and evaluate education policies. It is shown that by standardizing international education statistics and by developing new data sources like PISA, TALIS and PIAAC, OECD has established the largest database available for education policy analysis. Working with the networks of experts from the participating countries OECD could generate meaningful debates on education both within and between countries. Together with policy makers, OECD helps countries identify systemic education problems and learn the use of statistical evidence in discussing and framing education policy.
