CONCLUSIONS BY THE COUNCIL

of 21 February 2005

on Education and Training in the framework of the mid-term review of the Lisbon Strategy

(2005/C 85/01)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to:

| 1. | The new strategic goal set for the European Union by the Lisbon European Council of 23–24 March 2000 and reaffirmed by the Stockholm European Council of 23 and 24 March 2001 to become ‘the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth, with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion’. |

1.

The new strategic goal set for the European Union by the Lisbon European Council of 23–24 March 2000 and reaffirmed by the Stockholm European Council of 23 and 24 March 2001 to become ‘the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth, with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion’.

| 2. | The substantial contribution of Lifelong Learning, covering all forms of learning and all levels and dimensions of Education and Training, to all these objectives and to the achievement of sustainable development, as acknowledged by the Lisbon European Council itself. |
| --- | --- |

2.

The substantial contribution of Lifelong Learning, covering all forms of learning and all levels and dimensions of Education and Training, to all these objectives and to the achievement of sustainable development, as acknowledged by the Lisbon European Council itself.

| 3. | The fact that some 33 million people in the European Union are not in active employment; Europe's workforce is ageing, and 32 % of the working age population (78 million) is low skilled. In contrast, over the next five years, only 15 % of newly created jobs will be for people with basic schooling, whereas 50 % of newly created jobs will require highly skilled workers. |

STRESSES THAT:

| 6. | The knowledge society is key to the Lisbon Strategy. The contribution of education and training is therefore essential, as they provide the indispensable skills base and creative potential.






  — | The Lisbon goals of competitiveness and economic growth can only be achieved if young people coming onto the labour market are properly equipped through quality education and training in line with the evolution of society. |

—

The Lisbon goals of competitiveness and economic growth can only be achieved if young people coming onto the labour market are properly equipped through quality education and training in line with the evolution of society.

| — | More efficient investment in education and training leads in general to a significant increase of the national product of a country and contribute to the future income of the learners. |

| — | Better quality of education and training as well as better access and higher participation not only enable an increasing number of people to achieve personal development but also contribute to sustainable economic growth, social cohesion and more and better jobs. |
| --- | --- |

—

Better quality of education and training as well as better access and higher participation not only enable an increasing number of people to achieve personal development but also contribute to sustainable economic growth, social cohesion and more and better jobs.

| — | Increasing participation and completion rates in initial education and training will have a positive effect on the quality of the labour force, improve people's employability and therefore reduce public spending. |

The higher education sector is situated at the crossroads of research, education and innovation and is therefore key to the competitiveness of the European Union.

| — | No advanced economy can survive without continuous upgrading of people's skills, regardless of their age. Lifelong learning is therefore essential, and needs to be encouraged in all the Member States. It increases the overall skills levels of the workforce, allowing people to adapt to the rapidly changing needs of the labour market and to new technologies and improving the conditions for occupational and geographical mobility. In this regard, basic training in ICT (digital literacy) for all is essential. |

| 7. | As regards the issue of sustainable growth and ‘more and better jobs’, education and training provide the foundation on which better quality jobs can be created and growth sustained. This is even more true in knowledge-based societies and economies.






  — | More jobs can only result from a better and more job-intensive economic growth; this in turn requires that the labour force have the skills and competences needed by entrepreneurs and companies. |

| — | Better quality jobs imply a higher level of competence from the worker, which in turn implies greater individual development at all levels of education and training throughout life, in the light of demographic change. Education and training, non-formal and informal learning, are means to achieve this. |

| 8. | As regards the question of ‘greater social cohesion’, education and training promote understanding and tolerance. Moreover, they open a more equitable start in life for all.






  — | Early education provides the best chance to develop social skills in children, and to prepare them for the increasingly multi-cultural world in which we live and, in particular, to give children with fewer opportunities a better preparation for school. |

RECALLS THAT:

| 9. | In accordance with the Lisbon conclusions, the Council has agreed on a coherent and integrated Work Programme, now referred to as ‘Education and Training 2010’. The Council and Commission, in their Joint Interim Report to the European Council adopted in February 2004, underlined three priority areas for immediate further action:

| 10. | Agreement has been reached on Europass, as well as on other key issues, such as the identification and validation of non-formal and informal learning, quality assurance in Vocational Education and Training (VET) and guidance throughout life. Priority should now be given to implementing these agreements at the national level. The future priorities for reforms and investment in VET are defined in the Council conclusions adopted on 15 November 2004, which formed the basis for the Maastricht Communiqué adopted on 14 December 2004. |

| 11. | Under the impulse of the Bologna process, progress has been made in stimulating curricular reform in higher education across Europe. In addition, the Erasmus Mundus programme was adopted in December 2003 to promote the EU as a centre of excellence in learning around the world. However, more action and support from the EU would enable higher education institutions to fulfil their key role in achieving the Lisbon objectives. |
