Abstract	Abstract The seven subject matter reports of the IEA constitute a good example of a large scale international study which incorporates the three elements of comparison, cooperation and universality. Thus, a comparative study was performed through international cooperation and it yielded results of universal validity. Achievement was tested in seven subject fields and data collected at three age levels. The sample comprised 250,000 students and 50,000 teachers in 9,700 schools of twenty-one nations. The reports of this study were published in eleven volumes from 1967 to 1976. The findings showed that the comprehensive system does not lower the achievement level of the able students, nor does the spread of time devoted to studies affect outcomes. Sex differences in achievement were demonstrated and they increase with age. Strong patriotic support for government was usually accompanied by lower support for democratic values. These findings have already served as bases for decision-making at the international level in several countries.
