A fascinating series of images here in this Guardian photostream which illustrate a variety of classroom environments around the globe.

Each classroom profile contains a typical scene of students in their learning environment. What makes the resource so interesting and useful is the accompanying data which can be used to compare and contrast the different student groups based on:

Fertility rate

Life expectancy at birth

Population on less than $2 a day

Primary age children not in school

Youth literacy
