This section provides the most recent available data on the number of educational institutions from pre-primary to upper-secondary education level (ISCED levels 0-3). Statistics on numbers and characteristics of higher education institutions can be found in the European Tertiary Education Register. A general overview of the categories of institutions providing publicly-subsidised adult education and training can be found in the chapter on adult education. The notes below the tables provide methodological explanations necessary for a good interpretation of data.

The table above presents the number of legal entities (not local sites). Resource centres are competence centres that intervene on schools' demand in the framework of regular education. They help the schools integrate learners with special educational needs into mainstream education as far as possible. Each resource centre also has one or several local sites.
