Europe launches its own Composite Learning Index

From the Canadian Council on Learning:

The first-ever European Lifelong Learning Indicators (ELLI) Index, a measurement tool that offers a comprehensive overview of learning conditions in 23 European Union member states, was released today by the charitable foundation Bertelsmann Stiftung in Gütersloh, Germany.

Developed by an international team of experts that included researchers from the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL), the ELLI-Index follows the methodological approach and the statistical model of Canada’s Composite Learning Index (CLI), which was created by CCL in 2006.

Like the CLI, the ELLI-Index is thematically organized under UNESCO’s four “pillars of learning” — Learning to Know, Learning to Do, Learning to Be, and Learning to Live Together — and relies on a complex “basket” of 17 indicators and 36 specific measures to generate lifelong learning scores for nearly two dozen countries, including Austria, Germany, France, Denmark and the United Kingdom.
