Special Eurobarometer survey "Europeans 2014"

According to the survey, a majority of Europeans say that they have a positive

image of the EU (34%, which is 3 percentage points higher than the Standard

Autumn Eurobarometer released in November 2013), compared to 26% who say

they have a negative image of the EU. There is also growing optimism with regards

to the economic outlook in Europe and towards Europe's future.

Europeans in 20 out of 28 Member States say they expect the economic situation in

their home country to improve in the coming twelve months. The Special

Eurobarometer is based on a representative sample of people from all 28 Member

States of the European Union. In total almost 28,000 citizens aged 15 and older

were interviewed between 15th and 24th March 2014.

Eurydice report: "Modernisation of Higher Education in Europe: Access,

Retention and Employability"

The report finds that not enough countries are using the information they collect on

higher education to improve their universities and the opportunities they offer for

students. The report investigates what governments and higher education

institutions are doing to widen access to higher education, increase the number of

students that complete higher education (retention), and give guidance to students

on entering the labour market (employability). More than 30 countries took part in

the survey - all EU Member States, with the exception of Luxembourg and the

Netherlands, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Norway and Turkey.

Study on Policy Measures to improve the Attractiveness of the Teaching

Profession in Europe

Commissioned by the European Commission, the study looks in detail at what

makes the teaching profession attractive (or not); maps the different policy

measures that countries use (or could use) to attract high-quality recruits, to make

careers more attractive, and to enhance the social status and prestige of teaching;

and assesses their effectiveness. It also makes recommendations for

improvements. The study focuses on teachers in primary and secondary education

(ISCED 1, 2 and 3) in the 28 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway

and Turkey. It is based upon a survey of more than 80,000 student teachers,

teachers and school leaders, interviews with national decision-makers, and a review

of the research in the field.

U-Multirank

U-Multirank is a new international university ranking which assesses the

performance of more than 850 higher education institutions worldwide and

produces multi-dimensional listings rating universities on a much wider range of

factors than existing international rankings. This will allow users to obtain

information on the universities or specific disciplines, which most interest them, and

to choose criteria according to their own preferences. The U-Multirank bases its

assessments on five key areas: research performance, quality of teaching and

learning, international orientation, success in knowledge transfer (partnerships with

business and start-ups) and regional involvement.

Highlights

20th–21st May 2014: Education,

Youth, Culture & Sport Council

Conclusions

EU Ministers for Education, Youth,

Culture and Sport met in Brussels on

20th and 21st May. They adopted

conclusions on:

- effective teacher education,

addressing concrete issues such as

how to attract and retain the best

candidates, how to ensure the

relevance of teacher education

programmes and how to better exploit

the potential of new technologies and

resources. Member States were also

invited to use the funding

opportunities in EU instruments, such

as the Erasmus+.

– multilingualism and the

development of language

competences, inviting Member States

to adopt and improve measures aimed

at promoting multilingualism and

enhancing the quality and efficiency of

language learning and teaching.

– quality assurance supporting

education and training, which cover

specific issues such as the quality of

cross-border education and the extent

to which quality assurance

arrangements could be developed in

other areas of education and training,

such as schools, work-based learning

and non-formal learning.

The Council and the representatives of

the governments of the Member

States also adopted two resolutions

on:

– the EU Work Plan for Youth, which is

a medium-term plan for 18 months,

with key initiatives in specific youth

policy areas, so as to enable the EU

and its Member States to address

urgently the high youth

unemployment rates and the

consequences of the current crisis for

young people.

– the structured dialogue process,

which is a forum for continuous joint

reflection on the priorities,

implementation and follow-up of

European cooperation in the youth

field, involving a wide range of young

people and youth organisations. The

next cycle of the structured dialogue

will be launched in the EU Youth

Conference in October, under the

Italian Presidency. Youth

empowerment will be the priority

theme for the next 18 months.

The Council also adopted conclusions

on promoting youth entrepreneurship

to foster social inclusion, focusing on

creativity, innovation and green jobs

and inviting member states to

recognise the importance of

entrepreneurial education from an

early age, highlighting the role of non-

formal and informal learning to ensure

the autonomy and the personal

development of young people, as well

as to facilitate their successful

integration into the labour market.

At the meeting the Italian delegation

informed on the work programme of

the future Presidency, announcing the

following priorities:

- Youth empowerment, in particular

access to rights;

- Political participation of young

people;

- European public service.
