The Condition of Education 2020

The Condition of Education is a congressionally mandated compendium of education indicators that is updated yearly. Using the most recent data available (at the time this report was written) from the National Center for Education Statistics and other sources, the indicators show the enrollment levels, academic progress, educational attainment, financial status, and other characteristics of those people and institutions involved in the American educational endeavor. There are core indicators that are updated every year and other indicators that introduce new topics of interest to education systems, policymakers, researchers, and the public. The indicators are organized into four sections: preprimary, elementary, and secondary education; postsecondary education; population characteristics and economic outcomes; and international comparisons.
