The first deliverable mentioned in the report is the creation of the "European education area" by 2025. It sounds intriguing. What is this area, actually? What will it do? There's a website https://education.ec.europa.eu/
"The EEA initiative structures collaboration between Member States and stakeholders to build more resilient and inclusive national education systems." There's a big orange button to find out more. will we learn what the EEA does practically?
This page describes why education is good. It mentions Covid. It mentions two other similar initiatives: the "European Skills Agenda" and the "European Research Area". Best to not get distracted by this new area. What is the European Education Area?
One of the "focus areas for collaboration" is teacher training. What is the EU doing for teachers? I'd love to find out but I'm getting a 403 error right now on all EEA webpages, as if I've been blocked for suspiciously clicking too many links... will be for later
What do you make of the quote immediately under section "Main Messages" by Roberta Metsola, president of the European Parliament? "Its purpose (EEA) is to push for more equality, more democracy, more Europe for the sake of us all."
