„Based on a survey of 38 countries and economies, most have some form of selective admission to public tertiary education, at least in some fields or to some institutions. Centralised admission systems into public tertiary institutions are used in one-third of the countries and economies and may be used as a way to limit admissions. Performance assessment of applicants through national/central examinations taken towards the end of upper secondary education is used as a selection test for entry into at least some public institutions in half of the countries. Entrance examinations administered by tertiary institutions are also used in one-third of countries.“
