Abstract	The work carried out in the context of Action 6.1.2 of the Socrates Programme was made possible by the European Commission and the national contributions of the participating partners. It was initiated by certain members of the ad hoc group on equity issues (OECD) ... A publication by this group provided a first theoretical framework of indicators on which basis the current project took shape. Indicators measuring inequalities have been appearing for a long time in international publications dealing with education, particularly in the OECD Education at a Glance, and in Key data on education in Europe, the regular publication of the European Commission prepared by Eurydice. The various reports produced as a result of international evaluations of student achievement also contain indicators on inequalities. ... The new feature of this work is its systematic - by determining the principles to propose some points of reference in a broad and relatively new field - and comparative approach to equity in European educational systems. This comparative approach has been adopted for several reasons. It seems that in Europe, equity in education is rapidly becoming a major political issue. Furthermore, the publication of indicators can help to raise and to structure the related democratic debate. Even in the 1960's, when scientists of different countries demonstrated the persistence of social inequalities in school careers, this field did not really represent such a political problem as now. Except perhaps in the UK, citizens did not consider national governments to responsible for the inequalities in education that were felt as injustice and did not select the politicians according to their (in)ability to reduce such inequalities. Quantitative democratisation in terms of access to education and wealth across Europe undoubtedly helped to hide new and less obvious inequalities. ... European citizens are becoming more demanding in relation to an education system perceived both as expensive, and which no longer offers guaranteed career prospects in the future. At the same time, the social consequences of failure at school are considered to be increasingly important. Moreover, the idea that children and young people must also be treated justly is gaining ground. Consequently, educative systems are being given increasingly precise targets, which are, in some cases, quantified, in terms of both efficiency and equity. ... This publication reports on a several-year period of work on the issue of the equity of educational systems. It is structured into three main sections: A first part, entitled - Devising indicators of equity in educational systems: why and how? - defines the concepts of equality and equity, and presents the framework of indicators and its guiding principles. The second part - A set of 29 indicators on equity in the educational systems - presents the twenty-nine indicators built in the context of this project and organized according to the framework. The third part - The equity of European educational systems. An interpretation of the 29 Indicators - presents an analytical interpretation of the equity indicators. ... When this project started in May 2001, the European Union had 15 member states. The indicators created and presented here concern these 15 countries (plus Norway and Switzerland). A few of them only include some data related to the new member states. In the long run, the set of indicators should be extended to the 25 member states the EU has today. (DIPF/Orig.).
