This report presents a comparative data on educational reforms in 25
European countries in 1950–1990. The dataset includes cross–national
information about three types of educational reforms; changes in school
leaving age, removal of educational dead ends and existence of tuition
fees in tertiary education. Data is collected from various sources, such
as datasets, reports, national documents and research articles. By
providing comparative quality data for macro level events, this dataset
contributes to the lack of available measures of educational reforms for
social, political and economic research. Open access to adequate
measurements for educational policy changes over time in multiple
countries enables the application of different research designs and the
use of advanced methods of analyses where concrete measurements for
educational policies can be included.
