Improving the quality of teaching and learning in Europe’s higher

education institutions

This is the first report on improving the quality of teaching and learning in

universities. It makes 16 recommendations including: a call for mandatory certified

training for professors and other higher education teaching staff, more focus on

helping students to develop entrepreneurial and innovative skills, and the creation

of a European Academy of Teaching and Learning. According to the Report, many

higher education institutes place insufficient emphasis on teaching in comparison

with research, even though both are core missions of higher education.

Entrepreneurship & Young People - good practices

Entrepreneurship is particularly important to face challenges related to alarmingly

high youth unemployment rates in most of the EU Member States. Europe needs to

invest in people, in their skills, in their ability to adapt and in their ability to

innovate. To achieve this, there is a need to encourage young people, to instill in

them a spirit of entrepreneurship from early on in life, initiative, confidence,

calculated risk-taking, creativity, organisation, tenacity and to help them in the

transition from school to adulthood. This booklet demonstrates some of the wide

range of pioneering projects in the Youth in Action programme that nurture the

development of such entrepreneurial skills.

Global Employment Trends for Youth 2013: A generation at risk

The study examines the continuing job crisis affecting young people in many parts

of the world. It provides updated statistics on global and regional youth

unemployment rates and presents ILO policy recommendations to curb the current

trends. The report says the long-term impact of the youth employment crisis could

be felt for decades, creating a generation at risk of suffering decent work deficits

throughout their lives.

OECD Education at a Glance 2013

Issued annually, the report provides key information and data on education and

training in OECD and partner countries, including 21 EU Member States. In

particular it includes data on how much is spent on education, new indicators on

the link between education levels and employment, data on the economic crisis,

showing that education is the best protection against unemployment, as well as

trend data and analysis.

Multiannual Financial Framework:

political agreement reached

On 27th June, the President of the

European Parliament and the

President of the Council, with the

support of the European Commission,

have reached an agreement on the

European Union's future budget, the

Multiannual Financial Framework, with

an amount of EUR 960bn for the next

seven years 2014-2020 including: - EUR 6 billion for the Youth

Guarantee to tackle youth

unemployment

- EUR 16 billion for the Erasmus+

programme for education and

training.

Up to EUR 2 543 million may be used

in 2014 and 2015, as part of the

annual budgetary procedure, for

specified policy objectives relating to

youth employment, research,

ERASMUS in particular for

apprenticeships, and SMEs.

The Institutions agreed to use this

amount as follows: EUR 2 143 million

for Youth Employment, 200 million for

Horizon 2020, 150 million for Erasmus

and 50 million for COSME.

Erasmus+ programme agreement

reached

"Erasmus+" is set to be the EU's next

EUR 16 billion framework programme

for education, training, youth and

sport, following an agreement

confirmed by Parliament negotiators

and the Council on Wednesday 26th

June.

The overall budget for the new

programme is subject to approval of

the EU's overall multi-annual financial

framework (MFF) for that period. The

programme brings together the

Lifelong Learning Programme

(Leonardo, Comenius, Grundtvig,

Erasmus and Jean Monnet actions),

Youth in Action and five other

international programmes including

Erasmus Mundus and Tempus into

one single and simplified programme.

The new programme will focus on

formal and informal learning across

EU borders to improve the skills and

employability of students, educators

and workers. For the first time, sport

will be a core component with a focus

on grassroots activities, inclusivity

and cooperation. Of the total financial

envelope, 77.5% will be allocated to

the "education and training" sector,

and an additional 3.5% will go to a

new Loan Guarantee Facility. The

youth sector will receive 10%, the

sport sector 1.8%. All three

institutions agreed that there should

be a substantial increase in the

programme's budget, but the final

figures depend on the outcome of the

MFF negotiations. The next step is for

the Culture and Education committee

to give its formal approval to the

outcome of the negotiations. Then the

final text will go to plenary, probably

in October.

EaSI will support Member States

efforts in the design and

implementation of employment and

social reforms at European, national

as well as regional and local levels by

means of policy coordination, the

identification, analysis and sharing of

EaSI integrates and extends the

Progress, EURES and the European

Progress Microfinance Facility.

The EaSI forms the fourth pillar of the

Social Inclusion 2014-2020. The

political agreement will follow the

ordinary procedure and should be

European Council adopts

conclusions on youth

unemployment

At the European Council meeting, held

on 27th-28th June 2013, EU leaders

agreed on concrete measures to

tackle youth unemployment.

According to EU leaders, efforts

should be mobilised around the

shared objective of getting young

people who are not in education,

employment or training back to work

or into education or training within

four months, as set out in the

Council's recommendation on the

"Youth Guarantee". Building on the

Commission's communication on

youth employment, determined and

immediate action is required at both

national and EU level and the EU

should mobilise all available

instruments in support of youth

employment.
