The European Commission’s education and training monitor 

The Education and Training Monitor is a one-stop shop for the latest facts and figures about EU education systems. This annual reporting series from the European Commission serves as an easy gateway into everything there is to know about learning across the EU, all the way from early childhood education and care to adult participation in education and training. 

The monitor tracks progress towards achieving EU-level targets for 2025 and 2030. It also links to lots of other evidence to give some context and suggest possible ways forward. It comprises a comparative report, 27 country reports, and an online Monitor Toolbox with key indicators and sources. The 2024 edition focuses on learning for sustainability. This builds on the 2022 Council Recommendation on learning for the green transition and sustainable development and a new conceptual framework for monitoring learning for sustainability. The focus on learning for sustainability is based on the 2021 Council Resolution on a strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training towards the European Education Area (EEA) and follows the 2022 focus on equity in education and 2023 focus on the teaching profession.

The full report can be consulted in an interactive format here or in pdf here.
