Eurydice

Increasing achievement and motivation in mathematics and science learning in schools.

This Eurydice report focuses on the topic of equity and inclusion in higher education in Europe. It analyses the current level of alignment of European higher education systems with the ten Principles & Guidelines agreed by all EHEA countries as a blueprint to take forward the commitment of improving the social dimension.

In 2021, Eurydice published a number of reports on various educational topics.

This year’s edition analyses more than 20 key structural indicators on education policies in four areas: early childhood education and care, achievement in basic skills, early leaving from education and training and higher education. It additionally provides a short overview of major reforms since the start of the 2014/15 school/academic year in these policy areas. The part of information that concerns the European Union countries has also been included in the Education and Training Monitor 2021.
