EU education goals: A mixed picture in Eastern Europe.

The agreed goals in the ‘Europe 2020′ strategy – reducing the share of early school leavers to 10% and making sure that at least 40% of 30-34 year olds have a degree or diploma by 2020 – are EU-wide averages. National targets are to be agreed with the European Commission, meaning that lower results in certain member states can be balanced out by above-average ones in others. As for the higher education goal, the Poles have set themselves an ambitious target of 45%, while the Czechs and the Slovaks are aiming for lower – and for them seemingly more challenging – targets of 32% and 30% respectively.
