A National Review can examine a nation’s entire education system, one level of education, or a policy area or educational process, such as evaluation and assessment within school education, or integrity in education.National Reviews of Education Policy use a mixed-methods approach, combining analysis of national and international data resources, analysis of national policy documents and research, and intensive field-based interviewing by OECD review teams.

 

The OECD has undertaken over 40 reviews of education systems in OECD and non-member countries, including Colombia, Greece, Indonesia, Japan and the Netherlands.
