Even worse, 14 per cent of teachers reported they had experienced physical violence from students. Nearly half the teachers participating in the survey reported a desire to quit or change jobs due to worries about safety and school climate.“

„On average, after transfers, 31% of total expenditure on tertiary institutions in 2019 came from the private sector. […] The level of private funding relates closely to the tuition fees charged by tertiary institutions. […] In countries where higher tuition fees are charged, such as Australia, Chile, Colombia, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States, more than 60% of funding for tertiary institutions comes from private sources. On average across the OECD, 72% of all private expenditure on tertiary institutions comes from individual households.“

„In OECD countries, most national students entering tertiary education enrol in a programme at Bachelor’s or equivalent level. At this level, public institutions do not charge tuition fees to national students in Denmark, Estonia (only for programmes taught in Estonian), Finland, Norway, Sweden and Türkiye. In a similar number of countries, tuition fees are low or moderate, with an average cost to students of under USD 3,000. In the rest of the OECD, tuition fees are high or very high, ranging from around USD 4,000 to over USD 8,000 per year. These costs are highest in England (United Kingdom), where they exceed USD 12,000, which is considered even more expensive than in the US.“

„In some countries like, for example, United States, there is empirical evidence that highly qualified college graduates are less likely to choose teaching careers than low achieving graduates. This is worrying for educational authorities which need to find a way to attract and retain motivated high quality teachers. In this sense, as in any other occupation, employee quality can only be demanded and worker motivation elicited if working conditions, including salary and work loading are attractive.“

„The U.S. high school graduation rate peaked at around 80 percent in the early 1970s and has since declined by 4–5 percentage points. Roughly 65 percent of blacks and Hispanics now leave school without a high school diploma, substantially higher than the dropout rate for non-Hispanic whites.“

„Students in Canada are grouped by ability in ways that are very similar to the United States’ system. Elementary school-aged children are often placed in ability groups within heterogeneous classrooms. Students in secondary schools are placed into tracks or streams, based on perceived ability levels.“

„The US and Canada, where skill-related earning differences are relatively large, receive 51.4 % of the OECD's immigrants, but 65.5 % of its immigrants with tertiary schooling.

„In den USA macht man seit mindestens 25 Jahren Erfahrungen mit einer standardbasierten Schulreform. Obwohl man immer wieder von großen Erfolgen dieser Reform hören kann, trifft bei nüchterner Betrachtung eher das Gegenteil zu. Probleme zeigen sich in mindestens drei Bereichen: Demotivierung der Lehrkräfte, Verengung des Lehrplans und Unzuverlässigkeit der Tests.“
