It details resources like the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) which offers data on educational institutions, enrollment, and financial aid; the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) for comprehensive data on colleges and universities; and the College Scorecard for insights into college costs, graduation rates, and post-college earnings. Other databases include the National Student Clearinghouse for student enrollment and degree verification, the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) for faculty and student surveys, and the Chronicle of Higher Education's data tools for trends in academia. The article also mentions international databases like the OECD's Education at a Glance and UNESCO's Institute for Statistics, which provide global perspectives on education.
