Statistics on Education Institutions
This section provides the most recent available data on the number of educational institutions from pre-primary to post-secondary non-tertiary education level (ISCED levels 0-4). Information on tertiary education institutions (ISCED levels 5-8) can be found in the European Tertiary Education Register (ETER). A general overview of the categories of institutions providing publicly-subsidised adult education and training can be found in the chapter on adult education. The notes below the table provide methodological explanations necessary for good data interpretation.
