2023 edition of EC's Education and Training Monitor highlights challenges in European Education Area
The European Commission has published the 2023 edition of the Education and Training Monitor. The report was presented by Commissioner Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, at the European Education Summit last week. Overall, the monitor shows some encouraging trends, such as more and more young Europeans obtaining a tertiary degree, or the average number of early leavers from education and training declining, but challenges remain.
The 2023 Monitor focuses on teacher shortages in Europe and the various efforts to make the teaching profession more attractive. With regard to higher education, the report highlights aspects such as the gender gap in tertiary qualifications, and the lack of women in STEM disciplines.
The Monitor includes a comparative analysis, 27 country reports and an online Monitor Toolbox, with the most prominent data and sources on education and training systems in the EU.
