Eurydice

Effective learning depends on many factors, but undoubtedly, the instruction time available to students plays a key role in their learning process. Along with the quality of instruction and the time available for learning after school, the increase in the amount of instruction time allocated to a discipline can help to raise students’ interest in that subject and can have positive effect on students’ performance, even more when the increase is accompanied by other support measures and directed at disadvantaged students.

In 2024, Eurydice published a number of reports on various educational topics. An overview of our 2024 publications is now available. With just one click, you can easily get access to all our reports!

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a basic right for all children and a foundation for lifelong learning. It plays a critical role in reducing inequalities and enhancing women’s participation in the workforce. This third edition of Key data on early childhood education and care in Europe aims to help build accessible, inclusive and high-quality ECEC systems by providing policymakers, researchers and parents with detailed data and examples of ECEC policies across Europe.

The Bologna Process Implementation report provides an overview of the latest policy commitments in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and assesses their implementation across the countries. 

This Eurydice report investigates whether and to what extent higher education systems across Europe recognise and validate learning outcomes from non-formal and informal learning. Building on EU steering documents and objectives set within the Bologna Process, the report examines the validation of non-formal and informal learning as (1) an alternative access route to education and (2) a way to fulfil higher education study requirements.

This Eurydice report focuses on the development of sustainability competences among learners and the support offered to teachers and schools to meet the challenges of the green transition in 39 European education systems. The report analyses how learning for sustainability is embedded in European curricula, and to what extent sustainability competences – defined on the basis of the European GreenComp framework – are included in these steering documents (Chapter 1).
