  1. EU Educational Policy Belajeva Irina, 1510

  2. According to the Treaties of the European Union , the EU "shall contribute to the development of quality education by encouraging cooperation between Member States and, if necessary, by supporting and supplementing their actions, such as promoting the mobility of citizens, designing joint study programmes, establishing networks, exchanging information or teaching languages of the European Union“

  3. EU education and training policies have gained impetus since the adoption of the Lisbon Strategy in 2000, the EU's overarching programme focusing on growth and jobs. • EU Member States and the European Commission strengthened co-operation in 2009 with strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training a follow-up to the earlier Education and Training 2010 work programme launched in 2001.

  4. Educational exchanges, for students and teachers • For 2007-13, the EU has allocated almost €13 billion to lifelong learning and worldwide exchanges. The main programmes are: • Leonardo Da Vinci • Erasmus • Grundtviq • Comenius • Marie Curie

  5. Non-EU participants welcome Students, teachers and educational establishments from other countries – particularly those bordering the EU or planning to join – are eligible for many of these programmes. Through other programmes and cooperation agreements, the EU also promotes exchanges and courses in European integration with some 80 countries around the world.

  6. Europass: make your qualifications and skills better understood • The Europass documents help citizens present their competences and qualifications, highlighting in a standard format what they have learnt and are able to do. They include: • Europass CV • Europass Language Passport • Europass Mobility • Europass Certificate Supplement • Europass Diploma Supplement

  7. Working together for high quality education in Europe EU Member States are working together with five other countries through the ‘Copenhagen Process’, a forum to discuss vocational education and training issues, including a European credit system and quality-assurance network. In higher education, the EU is working with 20 other countries through the ‘Bologna Process’ to create the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).

  8. The Youth on the Move initiative seeks to improve young people’s education and employability by: • making education and training more relevant • encouraging more young people to take advantage of EU grants to study or train in another country • encouraging EU countries to take measures simplifying the transition from education to work.

  9. Youth in Action promotes active involvement in the community and supports projects giving young people a greater sense of EU citizenship – for example, by volunteering in another country via the European Voluntary Service. Between 2007-13, the EU will have invested nearly €900m in these activities.
