In the context of its activities for the dissemination of information, UNESCO-CEPES is publishing basic statistical information on higher education in Central and Eastern Europe covering the post-1998 period. An effort is being made to present data that is as recent as possible. Therefore, what we publish is data provided to us directly by our partners in the respective countries. The information presented provides data for the respective academic year in the following areas:

  • Number of institutions (public and private) and teaching staff (in public and private institutions);

  • Student enrollments (public and private);

  • Number of students per 100,000 inhabitants;

  • Student/teaching staff ratio.
