Alex Usher offers a brief summary of the OECD's 'Education at a Glance' report. It's probably this report, though he does not bother to offer a link. There's not much that's groundbreaking in the report. I read far too much of it trying to figure out the 'public institution' data, which Usher (nor without justification) reports as "nonsense" - it reports 100% of Canada's and 0% of the U.K.'s institutions as being 'public institutions'. Now of course the OECD does not actually believe this - there are other tables in the report (eg. B.3.4) that show different percentages. I assume Usher is referencing this table (though he doesn't bother to reference his reconstruction, so I don't know for sure (just sloppy work here, he can do better)). Now I can't explain this table either (it actually shows Canada, Greece, Luxembourg and Denmark all at 100%, and doesn't include the U.K. at all).
