Looking for data

Hi, I'm looking for a current comparison of days in school for various nations. If you have a source, please share. Here is what I have thus far, but the current numbers may not all be accurate.

The 1990 numbers are from an article in the Atlantic Monthly. It is found at http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/educatio/barr2f.htm

Thanks for checking.
