Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Countries

A wealth of comparative data is contained in these large annual surveys, including higher education spending and design of access programs.

Note that the data tends to be collected a couple of years before the year of publication, so there may be a time gap. Also, Canadian data is sometimes weak compared to that of other major OECD nations. That ssems to be because Canada does not supply figures for some of the key categories.

Formats vary in these annual reports. Canada Briefing Notes and Highlights are not available for the year 2007.
