When the new European Commission took office in February 2010, Europe was facing its deepest economic and financial crisis since the 1930s. Our most urgent task was to stabilise the euro and create a new regulatory framework for finance. But we had a duty to learn from the causes of the crisis, and respond with new policies for growth and jobs – this was the urgency that drove all of our work in education, youth and culture. The Commission put education at the heart of its Europe 2020 strategy, and set the European Union two targets: to reduce the number of early school leavers from 14% in 2010 to below 10% by 2020; and to increase the number of young people completing higher education from 33% to 40%. Education helps us to shape the world we want to live in. If we want a society that is open, fair and democratic, then surely that job begins in the classroom. Our schools and universities can help us to replenish our values and our sense of identity, and learn how to live with others. It is here that we prepare for a world of work that is changing more rapidly than ever before. Education can restore our belief in the fair society – but only if we learn from the crisis. Many of Europe’s economies were neither sustainable nor inclusive: too few people shared in the benefits of a globalising economy; many saw their wages stagnate over the long term; and some became dependent on credit to maintain their standard of living. By reforming our education and training systems, we can exit the crisis and build something better for the future. By raising people’s skills, we can create more rewarding work, today and tomorrow (Bron: website bookshop.europa.eu)
