What is the EU's role in education & training?

Each EU country is responsible for its own education and training systems. EU policy is designed to support national action and help address common challenges, such as ageing societies, skills deficits in the workforce, technological developments and global competition. Education and training 2020 (ET 2020) is the framework for cooperation in education and training.

ET 2020 is a forum for exchanges of best practices, mutual learning, gathering and dissemination of information and evidence of what works, as well as advice and support for policy reforms.

In order to ensure the successful implementation of ET 2020, Working Groups composed of experts nominated by member countries and other key stakeholders work on common EU-level tools and policy guidance.

Peer counselling ( DE FR) brings together experienced peers from a small number of national administrations to provide advice to a Member State in designing or implementing a policy. It provides a forum for collectively brainstorming solutions to specific national challenges in a participatory workshop format.

Funding for policy support and innovative projects is available through Erasmus+ for activities that promote learning and education at all levels and for all age groups.

In 2009, ET 2020 set four common EU objectives to address challenges in education and training systems by 2020:

The following EU benchmarks for 2020 have been set for education:

What has been done so far?

In 2014, the Commission and EU countries engaged in a stocktaking exercise to assess progress made since the 2012 Joint Report and help prepare the next priorities for cooperation in education at European level.

The following contributions were received:

ET 2020 National Reports

ET 2020 independent evaluation by contractor Ecorys

The annual Education, Training and Youth Forum (9-10 October 2014)

Stakeholders' input

Drawing on the conclusions from the stocktaking, the European Commission has proposed six new priorities for 2016-2020. The Joint Report from the Commission and Member States was adopted at the November 2015 Education Council.

Your browser does not support the video tag.

What is next?

Progress on the EU benchmarks is assessed annually in the Education and Training Monitor.

The European Commission and the Council of the European Union have agreed on common priorities in the area of education and training for 2020. The focus will now be on the effective implementation of those priorities, in particular through the ET 2020 Working Groups.

Stay informed about EU cooperation in education and training with the ET 2020 Newsletter (only available in English).

Almost 7 billion people live on the planet, in 194 countries, speaking thousands of different languages. You and your brother may speak the same language, live in the same house and have the same parents, and yet you don't always get along. So maybe it's not surprising that the world, too, is full of conflict.

That's where the United Nations comes in. On Oct. 24 the United Nations turns 65. In 1945, after World War II ended, 51 countries founded the U.N. with the goal of developing healthy relationships among nations, helping one another, and ultimately maintaining peace.

Representatives from 192 countries are now part of the General Assembly and meet every September through December, and at occasionally at other times throughout the year, in New York. A general debate kicks off the September meeting during which a representative from any country can "take the floor," or speak in front of everyone about anything. This year, representatives from 186 countries spoke, ranging from five to 33 minutes. (Wow, talk about a long meeting!)

Smaller groups from the General Assembly meet also, and this year, a group met to discuss how sports can help bring about peace. One member called on leaders to make sure people could participate in sports. Another spoke about the need for role models in sports.

The General Assembly is the biggest part of the United Nations, but the Security Council is the most powerful. Five of the countries, including the United States, are permanent members, and 10 others are picked from different regions of the world every other year. The Security Council can vote to take military action or to punish countries for inappropriate actions (these punishments are called sanctions). If just one of the five permanent members vetoes (or votes against) a Security Council resolution, it won't take effect.

All this sounds like just a lot of talk, but the United Nations does more than that. For example, maybe you have heard of UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund. When monsoon rains caused devastating floods in Pakistan this summer, about 1.4 million kids were affected. UNICEF worked to get kids food, water and medical supplies. UNICEF is just one of many U.N. organizations that work around the world, helping people with such issues as reducing poverty, fighting disease and combating natural disasters.

The U.N. obviously has a big job to do, in a world full of so many people in so many places with so many problems.

It's something to think about the next time you and your brother have a hard time agreeing on what to watch on TV.
