| † Not applicable. # Rounds to zero. ! Interpret data with caution. The standard error is at least 30 percent but less than 50 percent of the estimate. ‡ Reporting standards not met. The standard error is 50 percent or more of the estimate. 1 The international average is the average of the education systems that met the qualifying conditions, with each education system weighted equally. The United States did not meet the international standards for participation rates and, as a result, is not included in the international average and is shown separately from other education system estimates. NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. S.E. means standard error. TALIS sampled teachers at ISCED Level 2, which in the United States is grades 7, 8, and 9. Education systems are listed alphabetically by nation and then by subnational entities.
