SECTION FIVE / GRADUATE DATA<br />
Source: <strong>Education</strong> at a Glance 2007, OECD<br />
Tertiary Type B graduates correspond to <strong>Higher</strong> Certificate, University Certificate, Ordinary<br />
Degree <strong>and</strong> University Diploma graduates.<br />
<br />
The mean for selected OECD countries is just over 9%. At 24%, graduation rates from<br />
tertiary type B programmes in Irel<strong>and</strong> are notably higher than in other selected OECD<br />
countries. While this difference is considerable, it is important to note that Tertiary<br />
Type B programmes may differ in length in different countries <strong>and</strong> in turn impact on<br />
the participation <strong>and</strong> graduation rates.<br />
