Freedom of education index. Correlations with selected indicators

Abstract

In 2016, OIDEL published the first Education Freedom Index (FEI) to assess the situation of freedom of education in the world. Two years later, OIDEL publishes a new report that allows us to relate the FEI to other indicators such as public spending and social cohesion. The objective of this research is to highlight the role of freedom of education in the construction of democratic and inclusive societies, thus laying the foundations for future research that correlates the FEI index with the democratic level of a country, or with its indicators of good governance.
