Europe 2020 focuses strongly on young people, with a headline target of reducing early school-leaving and increasing tertiary attainment. Two other headlines also share a clear youth dimension - to reduce the risk of poverty and to increase the share of the population in employment.

The aim is to identify practices which help to increase the supply of STEM ...

Many young people are trapped in a vicious circle: they cannot find a first job, but they cannot get a job because they do not have any work experience. Apprenticeships are proven to have a large-scale impact on youth employment promotion, and are a major reason for the low levels of youth unemployment in some European countries. In both the Rethinking Education ...

Presented as an individual's ability to turn ideas into actions, entrepreneurship has evolved over time to embrace creativity, innovation and risk taking, as well as the ability to set-up and run a business. Entrepreneurship is now considered as a key competence for all which should be promoted at all levels of education (from primary school to university) as well as through lifelong learning.

Le processus de Bologne a transformé en profondeur l'enseignement supérieur en Europe. Le lancement de l'EEES, en 2010, a constitué un important jalon vers un espace ouvert d'études supérieures doté d'une compatibilité et d'une comparabilité accrues, ainsi que vers une amélioration de l'attractivité et de la compétitivité des systèmes européens d'enseignement supérieur au niveau international. De nets progrès ont été accomplis dans de nombreux domaines, mais il reste beaucoup à faire pour parvenir ...
