quality learning and education at all stages of life. We will continue to promote adult education and greater participation in lifelong learning in order to achieve the objectives of the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan, paying particular attention to vulnerable groups such as older people, including the over-65s, the low-skilled and less qualified, etc. We will invest in organisational changes and in improving access to inclusive and high-quality education. In line with the needs, funding will be allocated in both cohesion regions, with a slightly higher intensity in the ESCR. ERDF resources will be used to improve infrastructure conditions at all levels of education with a view to making the urgently required adjustments to the needs of modern education, greening infrastructure, and providing the necessary spaces for the implementation of the educational and teaching process. These needs have been identified by the situational analyses conducted, which clearly show the necessity of investing in this area.96 Investments in educational infrastructure are investments in critical infrastructure that have important multiplier effects as they help to improve the quality of the education process and strengthen the resilience of the education system. ERDF resources will be used to a lesser extent to provide the ICT equipment necessary for the implementation of higher education processes and for the activities of organisations active in the youth field. The provision of ICT in higher education is complemented by the creation of a comprehensive support environment at higher education institutions that focuses on students and on activities that help them complete their studies successfully and on time. This support is also provided through modern ICT-based teaching methods that address different groups of ‘non- traditional’ students, such as early school-leavers and students who have suspended their studies to enter employment (‘job outs’). With the help of ESF+ resources and with a view to achieving the objectives of the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan and Slovenia’s 2030 national targets, and ensuring solidarity and sustainable social protection, health care and long-term care systems, we will support measures to improve social inclusion and consequently improve the employment opportunities of vulnerable groups, particularly the long-term unemployed. We will support social inclusion and social activation programmes to make it easier for those who are inactive or who have been unemployed for a prolonged period of time, recipients of social security assistance and people with complex social problems to access the jobs market. With the aim of tackling poverty and social exclusion and reducing social stratification, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic, we will use ESF+ funds to support measures to improve inclusion in the education system and in society, thereby improving the employment prospects of vulnerable target groups. Actions will be aimed at the acquisition or strengthening of the social and functional skills that enable individuals to resolve social and life issues, become more involved in their social environment and improve their ability to resolve the issues they face. Information will also be provided on opportunities for inclusion in other programmes. ESF+ funds will also be used for the purchase and development of teaching aids and materials for educational work with children with special needs and with migrants. We will support measures to develop and provide social care services (including family support) and community-based services. This will require the continuation of the deinstitutionalisation process and the consolidation of long-term care services. We will support mental health promotion through integrated provision, protection and promotion, and integrate treatment and addiction prevention programmes. In order to improve the health of the population and reduce health inequalities, we will
