In November the European Commission published the Education and Training Monitor 2016, which presents an annual evaluation of the education and training systems in the European Union (EU). Based on data collected from various sources, this document aims to contribute to the implementation of the Strategic Framework of cooperation in the areas of Education and Training and the Europe 2020 Strategy, namely the benchmarks that were established in that context. It helps to monitor the progress in the EU and in the Member states.
This document, which is on its 5th edition, has been evolving through the years and is now a reference for transnational analysis of educational policies, identifying the best practices and highlighting priority areas.
