ISCEDtasojakoa

ISCEDtasojakoa is a concept describing the distribution of educational attainment or enrollment across the levels of the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED). The term implies mapping a country's national qualifications, programs, or student outcomes onto the ISCED framework and presenting the resulting shares by level. In practice, ISCEDtasojakoa involves aligning diplomas, certifications, and degree programs with ISCED levels and summarizing how learners or the population are distributed among those levels.

Common elements include assigning national credentials to ISCED levels (for example, ISCED 0 for pre-primary, through ISCED 8 for doctoral studies) and reporting distributions as percentages or counts. The goal is to enable international comparability of education statistics, monitor progress, and support policy analysis, planning, and benchmarking across countries with different educational systems.

Methodologically, ISCEDtasojakoa relies on data from sources such as UNESCO Institute for Statistics, Eurostat, and national statistical offices. It requires a careful mapping exercise, transparent documentation of decisions, and periodic updates to reflect revisions in ISCED versions or changes in national qualifications frameworks.

Limitations include inconsistencies in national terminology, gaps in data, and the challenges of aligning diverse programs with a single ISCED scheme. Changes in ISCED revisions or national reforms can affect comparability over time.
