European Education Area

The European Education Area is one of the key European initiatives on education and training. EAEA follows closely its implementation, as well as analysing the yearly Education and Training Monitor and European Semester with the support of its members. The European Education Area vision cannot stand without (non-formal) adult education as a key contributor, thus, EAEA continues to advocate for the crucial role of ALE in the context of economic and social policy.

The European Education Area (EEA) supports the Member States in working together and fosters collaboration in the area of education and training. While each Member State is responsible for its own educational systems, the European Union promotes cooperation and exchanges of good practices.

By working in synergy with other education and skills initiatives, the European Education Area incorporates ambitious targets, including at least 47% of adults aged 25-64 participating in learning during the last 12 months by 2025.

Education and Training Monitor

The Education and Training Monitor assesses the progress of the European Education Area and the work done towards the defined targets and indicators.

European Semester

The European Semester is an annual framework that coordinates socio-economic policy, including employment and social policies.

EAEA’s work

EAEA’s work on the European Education Area includes the development of policy statements, info notes, responses to official consultations, and engaging the members to actively participate in consultation processes on national implementation.
