Goals / Remit
Investments in education and training for skills development is essential to boost growth and competitiveness. 21st Century skills are considered to be key enablers of responsible citizenship in a ICT-based economy. A Successful education and training in our knowledge society depend increasingly on the confident, competent and innovative use of ICT.
Therefore, we considers a top-priority the enhancement of education and skills development through new technologies.
We know that the 47% of EU population is not properly digitally skilled, yet in the near future, 90% of jobs will require some level of digital skills
We are fastly becoming a digital society but still lots have to be done because this society can be called inclusive. An inclusive digital society is one where citizens have the right skills to seize the opportunities of the digital world and boost their chance of getting a job.
The full potential for improving education through ICT in Europe remains yet to be disc (...)Main EU files targeted
We have our main interests in the following area (policies, directives, regulations)
1. DIGITAL SINGLE MARKET
The internet and digital technologies are transforming our world. But existing barriers online mean citizens miss out on goods and services, internet companies and start-ups have their horizons limited, and businesses and governments cannot fully benefit from digital tools. In particular, we aim to follow the progresses about the topic “skills” in the third pillar “Economy & Society”;
2. JOBS, GROWTH AND INVESTMENTS
Since the global economic and financial crisis, the EU has been suffering from low levels of investment. Collective and coordinated efforts at European level are needed to put Europe on the path of economic recovery. The Investment Plan for Europe has the potential to bring investments back in line with its historical trends. In addition, structural reforms will nurture the economic recovery and can provide further bases for sustainable growth. In this, we believe a strong factor of success is plaid by the digital education which needs infrastructural investments and actual interventions directed to the citizens;
3. EDUCATION, CULTURE, YOUTH, LANGUAGES, AND SPORT
All these domains are the core ones for our activities and interests. Any of them will be impacted by the development of our digital era, therefore, we aim to closely follow the developments of these topicsAddress
