With the Education and Training 2020 strategic framework coming to an end, the European Union set new targets for 2030 in early 2021. " At this stage, the average result for the 27 members of the European Union is behind each of the targets," notes the Directorate for Evaluation, Forecasting and Performance (DEPP).
- Participation in early childhood care and education: by 2030, at least 96% of children between the ages of 3 and the start of compulsory elementary education should participate in early childhood care and education
- Early exit from education and training: by 2030, the share of young people leaving education and training prematurely should be less than 9
- Low levels of basic skills: by 2030, the share of low-achieving 15-year-olds in reading, math, and science is expected to be less than 15 percent
- Low digital literacy: by 2030, the share of eighth-grade students with low digital literacy scores is expected to be less than 15 percent
- Higher education graduates: by 2030, the share of individuals aged 25-34 with higher education should be at least 45%.
"Compared to the results of EU countries," notes the DEPP, "France has more young children in education, fewer early school leavers and higher access to higher education qualifications.
In terms of digital skills, however, France, is still far behind the common goal for 2030. In 2018, 44% of students in the fourth grade did not have the expected digital literacy skills in France (target: less than 15%).
With only 16.2% of students with low digital literacy skills, Denmark has almost reached the 15% target.
