The European Commission presents a new Education and Skills Package to reverse the decline in basic skills, help schools make AI and digital technologies work for learning and address teacher shortages.

The package focuses on four priorities: raising achievement in basic skills, harnessing digital and AI tools for education, strengthening the teaching profession and making vocational education and training (VET) more agile, strategic and better connected. It also reflects changing labour market needs, which must be better addressed in education systems to safeguard Europe´s competitiveness and democratic resilience.

More information is available in the press release, questions and answers and two factsheets (education and skills package and VET) online.
