International Standard
Classification of
Education (ISCED)
ISCED is a framework to classify educational activities
as defined in programmes and the resulting
qualifications into internationally agreed categories.
ISCED classifies education programmes by their
content using two main cross-classification variables:
levels of education and fields of education. The basic
concepts and definitions of ISCED are intended to be
internationally valid and comprehensive of the full
range of education systems. ISCED is a product of
international agreement and adopted formally by the
General Conference of UNESCO Member States.
