Notes : Turkey : Preschools are not included in schools. "Secondary schools" include high schools as named in the North American system. "Higher schools and university" include universities only.

 
Important : the data must be considered with care and only as estimates and general indications. In fact, there are no central bodies allowing a "scientific" monitoring and the comparison between the countries is difficult due to this situation and also to the disparities of the national organisational systems (for example, number of cities).
