Blog Post: The Australian Education Market by the numbers

There is no shortage of data on the education marketplace - but finding a summary of the whole market is tricky. So I created one from trawling across the various government sites and statistical bulletins.

So here's my 'home movie' version of the key numbers for the Australian Education Market, which summarises:

• Total Australian government spend on education
• Total number of schools, TAFEs and universities in each state
• Mix of state, catholic and private schools
• Total number of students in Australian schools, TAFEs and universities
• The Top 10 Australia universities, by student size

What other data would be useful to have in here?
