Abstract:
Council conclusions of 12 May 2009 on a strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training (‘ET 2020’) enshrine the essential role the education and training play in addressing the current and future challenges Europe and its citizens are facing, and at the same time they confirm Member States’ responsibilities for their own education systems.
