THE SPANISH EU PRESIDENCY IN EDUCATION

Improving the quality o education and training is a key actor or thesustainable socio-economic development and social cohesion o the

European Union. For this reason, the ocus o the Spanish Presidency willbe to :

- place education at the heart o the EU 2020 strategy

- position education and training as driving orces or economic recovery

- promote increased cooperation and investment in education and training

- encourage equity o access to education at all levels

- boost the social dimension and responsibility o Higher Education- develop the basic competences needed or new jobs

- reinorce the links between the European Higher Education Area and theEuropean Research Area within a global context.

Education and Training – driving forces for economic recovery, socialdimension, quality employment, internationalization of the university. 

Education and training must have a leading role in EU policies and becentral elements in the EU 2020 strategy orging links between training, creativity,innovation and employment at all levels o education, as driving forces for thesustainable economic recovery o the EU.

Education systems must adapt to the new knowledge-based economy torespond to society’s new demands and oer learning and training opportunitiesto young people, adults, the unemployed and workers who are not appropriatelyqualied or the new employment scenario. All European citizens should acquirethe knowledge they need to live and work in their society, especially those withspecial needs.

The social dimension and equity in education are undamental or the sociallegitimacy o the European building process. Integrating the principles o quality,eciency and equity at all levels o education and training must guarantee accessto learning and training or all, including those most disadvantaged.

Education and training are essential to avoid social exclusion in our society.Equal access to education must be guaranteed as well as the raising o equity and

quality levels in the education system in line with the objectives o the EuropeanYear or Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion 2010.

Challenges to be aced include combating early school leaving rates at alllevels o education; encouraging inclusive education, especially or students withspecial needs; and promoting the social dimension in the building o the EuropeanHigher Education Area, encouraging the social responsibility o the universities.It is not enough merely to generate knowledge, it must be returned to society to

ensure the wellbeing o its citizens.

Achieving more and better training and quality jobs depends to a great extenton people’s educational level. Initiatives must be developed to boost new skills fornew jobs, centred on adapting the training oered and on introducing new toolsto remove barriers, to reconcile study with work and amily lie, and bring trainingto the lower qualied and those at risk o exclusion.

The new economic model demands vocational education and trainingadapted to the needs o a sustainable economy and to the labour market, boostingemerging and innovative sectors. Greater cooperation must be encouragedbetween vocational education and training systems and social and economicagents to promote more fexible systems, better adapted to social and economicchange. Also o interest is an in-depth consideration o the acquisition o a widerand better digital competence in all areas o education.

The internationalization and modernization o the university within the contexto the 2010 review o the Bologna Process and o the European Research Areashould allow a new ramework to be dened combining both o these with the

building o the European Knowledge Area.

University cooperation should be encouraged beyond the rontiers o theEuropean Union, with special emphasis on those areas worldwide where closelinks already exist. The implementation o the agenda or university modernizationwill also continue, with special reerence to reorming the curriculum, promotingresearch, interacting with society and the wider environment, knowledge transerand the social responsibility o the university.
