Learner outcomes. Figure 5.3 shows that following the OECD mean trend, after a sharp rise in the period 1991–1998, the proportion of 25–64 year (OECD, 2004, p.72–3) olds, which had attained upper-secondary and post–secondary non-tertiary education in the UK, has remained fairly stable. This covers qualifications at NVQ levels 1, 2, and 3 (including GCSE/SCE Highers) and HE access courses. In 2002, 57% of 25–64 year olds in the UK had attained a qualification at these levels, compared to the OECD average of just 44% (OECD, 2004). 65 55 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 Australia France Germany Italy Japan Netherlands UK USA OECD mean Source: Education at a glance: OECD indicators 2004 (OECD, 2004), table A3.4a, p.72–3. In comparison, Japan saw a decline in the proportion attaining upper-secondary or post-secondary non-tertiary education between the years 1998 and 2002. Germany suffered a dip in 1999 but has been steadily increasing since 2000, although by 2002 it still had not returned to its 1998 level. France, Italy and the OECD average both show a similar trend to the UK, although the proportion of achievers is significantly lower for both (table C30). Similarly, 27% of those aged 25–64 had completed tertiary education in the year 2004 (OECD, 2004), comparable with Denmark (27%) and Belgium (28%). The UK outperformed several countries including France (24%), Spain (24%) and Germany (23%). However, there were several countries where the proportion outstripped that in the UK, and has done consistently over several years, including Canada (43%), the United States (38%) and Japan (36%) (table C31).
