Similar to the World Bank, the non-profit organization Global Change Data Lab has created a world map of compulsory schooling duration in countries around the world using data from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics. The data is available from 1975 onwards. Unlike the World Bank map, this map more clearly distinguishes between countries without compulsory schooling and countries without available data. However, there is no color distinction between the duration of 0 and 6, so countries with 6 years of compulsory schooling have the same color as countries with 0 years of compulsory schooling. This only becomes visible in the country list, which can be displayed instead of a world map. The current Chairman of the Board of Global Change Data is also the Chief Executive of the British Academy, the UK’s national academy for humanities and social sciences.
