Country specific recommendations in education policies 2011-2020

Briefing 19-12-2019

This briefing focuses on policy recommendations relating to education and skills addressed by the Council to individual Member States within the framework of the European Semester, over the years 2011-2019. It applies a broad approach to 'education'-related country specific recommendations (CSRs), covering budget spending on education, inclusiveness, skills mismatches and lifelong learning. The briefing takes stock of the education-relevant CSRs issued since 2011, looks in detail at the main topics addressed, and offers an overview of the level of implementation by Member States as assessed by the European Commission.
