Summary:

"The Working Group on Quality of Public Finances and the European Commission fruitfully collaborated on the evaluation of the efficiency and effectiveness of expenditure on tertiary education. The report reviews the main lessons from the economic literature on education and reviews the main trends in tertiary education, based on the statistical information available. It then presents the institutions of tertiary education systems across the EU and draws the lessons from country experience. Finally, the main policy challenges on tertiary education are also identified around three major issues: Mass opening versus quality -- Education versus research -- Autonomy versus accountability."--Provided by publisher.
