| 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: 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.
