UNESCO Institute for Statistics [pdf]
http://www.uis.unesco.org/ev_en.php?ID=2867_201&ID2=DO_TOPIC
Established in 1999, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) was designed
to meet both the needs of UNESCO Member States and to provide the
international community with a wide range of statistical information in
order to "analyze the efficiency and effectiveness of their programmes and
to inform their policy decisions." The UIC is hosted by the University of
Montreal, and performs work around four primary themes, including education,
literacy, culture & communication, and science & technology. Overall, the
site is a remarkable source of information, including databases, working
papers, country profiles, statistical tables, and methodological material
about the conduct of their research. Several of these works are featured
prominently on their homepage including a working paper on financing the
expansion of educational opportunity in Latin America and the Caribbean and
an electronic questionnaire on science and technology.
