Updated Tables: Digest of Education Statistics 2022 NCES recently released more than 90 data tables for the Digest of Education Statistics, including information on trends and topics such as population characteristics, public schools and school districts, college admission tests, postsecondary degrees conferred, labor market outcomes, and computer and internet use. Selected findings include the following: In 2021, about 111,000 teachers were military veterans. Of these teachers, 85,000 worked in public schools and 26,000 worked in private schools (table 209.27). Across all public elementary and secondary schools in fall 2021, the average pupil/teacher ratio was 15.4 (table 208.10). In the largest districts (those enrolling more than 15,000 students in fall 2021), the average pupil/teacher ratio was 16.1 (table 215.10). In 2021, about 14.7 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds were neither enrolled in school nor working. This percentage was 11.1 for 18- and 19-year-olds and 16.1 for 20- to 24-year-olds (table 501.30). Among full-time undergraduates in 2021, about 40.9 percent were employed, and 10.7 percent worked 35 or more hours per week. Among part-time undergraduates, 77.4 percent were employed, and 48.2 percent worked 35 or more hours per week (table 503.40). In 2021, about 34.7 percent of male 25- to 34-year-olds had a bachelor’s or higher degree, and 33.9 percent of these degree holders had a bachelor’s degree in a STEM field. In the same year, 43.6 percent of female 25- to 34-year-olds had a bachelor’s or higher degree, and 15.9 percent of these degree holders had a bachelor’s degree in a STEM field (table 104.60). The Digest is a comprehensive statistical reference covering the broad field of American education, from early childhood through graduate school. It includes data from nearly 100 sources—both government and private—and draws especially on the results of surveys and activities carried out by NCES. Digest tables are the foundation of many NCES reports, including the congressionally mandated Condition of Education and the recently released Equity in Education Dashboard. Digest tables are continuously updated and released throughout the year. To view the latest versions of all Digest tables, please visit the “Most Current Digest Tables” page. The Institute of Education Sciences, a part of the U.S. Department of Education, is the nation’s leading source for rigorous, independent education research, evaluation, statistics, and assessment. IES is celebrating 20 years. Here’s how to get involved.
