No 43, OECD Education Working Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: This paper provides initial reflections on the impact of the economic crisis on education across the OECD area by analysing the OECD educationtoday crisis survey responses of June 2009. It first looks at the impact of the crisis on education demand and participation, after which the focus turns to the supply side and education financing. The paper suggests that while the education sector appeared to experience increased demand and benefit from growing governmental financing in several OECD countries in June 2009, the crisis may have hidden negative effects particularly on decentralised service delivery and private involvement in education. Ce document offre un début de réflexion à propos de l’impact de la crise économique sur l’éducation dans les pays de l’OCDE, à partir d’une analyse des réponses à l’enquête sur la crise lancée en juin 2009 via la plateforme OCDE educationtoday. Après un examen de l’impact de la crise sur la demande d’éducation et la participation, le propos cible les aspects de l’offre et du financement de l’éducation. Ce document suggère que si le secteur de l’éducation semble avoir connu une demande plus importante et bénéficié d’un financement public croissant dans certains pays de l’OCDE en juin 2009, la crise pourrait avoir des effets négatifs non visibles, en particulier en termes de fourniture décentralisée des services et d’engagement du secteur privé dans l’éducation.
