| † Not applicable or not administered in the country. # 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 Education categories are based on the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED 1997). ISCED 5 represents the first stages of tertiary education and is split between ISCED levels 5A and 5B. ISCED level 5A programs are generally longer and more theory-based, while 5B programs are typically shorter and more practical and skills oriented. ISCED level 5A typically includes Bachelor's degrees and Master's degrees but no distinction was made between ISCED level 5A (Bachelor) and ISCED level 5A (Master) in this table. It should also be noted that ISCED level 5B includes Bachelor's degrees in some countries. ISCED level 6 represents further education at the tertiary level that leads to an advanced research qualification such as a Doctorate degree. 2 In Portugal, the teachers with a "Pre-Bologna Master's degree" are counted as ISCED level 6. The way the question is presented prevents the disaggregation between "Pre-Bologna Master's degree" and "Doctorate degree." 3 The averages do not add up to 100 across categories because of the presence of cells that are not applicable (†) in some countries. 4 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.
