ET 2020 Adult Learning

Working Group on Adult Learning

ET 2020 working group

Against the background of stagnating participation rates in adult learning, the aim of this working group was to analyse and explore policy options for fit-for-purpose adult learning systems and their governance that support all individuals in their continuing upskilling and reskilling.

While policy measures can target various actors in a skills ecosystem (employers, education and training providers, individuals themselves), the focus of the working group, also summarised in its final report, was on policies for empowering individuals to undertake up-/re-skilling in a broad sense (basic skills/key competences, vocational skills and active citizenship development).

This is also consistent with the right to quality and inclusive education, training and lifelong learning set under the European Pillar of Social Rights.

Deliverables:
