Where do we stand?

Numerous European programmes: Lifelong Learning Programme,

Marie Curie, Culture, Youth in Action, Europe for citizens, Erasmusfor young entrepreneurs...

European tools: ECTS, ECVET, Europass, EQF, DiplomaSupplement, Youth Pass, EURAXESS...

BUT: only 310,000 of 16-29 year olds benefit from EU programmes

(= 0.3%)

Clearly much more could be done to boost Mobility

New Skills for New jobs Communication:- better anticipation future labour needs- better match skills and jobs needed- more demand higher qualifications- more demand transversal competences- but also sector specific skills- need for fine-tuning demand per sector

outcomes, providing common language curriculum

Employability

The student body in HE should reflect the diversity ofEuropes population (Bologna WG): widening access,participation disadvantaged groups

EU-instruments: more accent on social dimension innew LLP programme (lifelong learning: flexible learningpaths, tailor-made programmes, RPL, awareness raisingdisadvantaged groups)

Progress Report QA in higher education:

need to strenghten EU-dimension

Need for diversification on strengths: need toenhance transparency in diversity of missionsand performances of HEIs

Commission supports several transparencyprojects (mapping of missions, feasibility studyranking), adding comparative element to QA

Need to cover diverse performances of HEIsand their programmes

Transparency tools

An enlarged transparent pool of quality is for the

benefit of all users


18/20

Take into account the diversity of HEinstitutions and disciplines in both QA andtransparency initiatives

Continue EU-support to thematic/discipline-based networks, which help to define specificapproaches QA (Quality Seals) & accreditation

Support to Commission suggestion to makeESGs more coherent with Bologna Framework

A subject-specific approach to the implementation of theBologna post-2010 priorities is important.

With as good example the horizontal role across nationalsystems of the Polifonia-network for Music Education!
