Ahead of the International Day of Education on 24 January, the European Commission and High Representative\/Vice-President Josep\u00a0Borrell\u00a0made the following statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation is essential to the global recovery and the achievement of all Sustainable Development Goals. It is a fundamental right and the foundation of resilient, peaceful and sustainable societies. Education is the basis and a catalyst for the green transition. It enables citizens to harness the opportunities of digital development. It brings hope and protection to those affected by humanitarian<\/em>\u00a0crises and forced displacement. Quality education is a vital part of the development of every child and young person.<\/em><\/p>\n

2022 is the European Year of Youth and the 35th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the Erasmus programme. The EU reaffirms the paramount importance of quality education for the personal, social and professional development of children and young people, in and beyond the European Union, to\u00a0<\/em>build a better and more equitable future, reduce socio-economic and gender inequalities<\/em>, and promote peace and democracy.<\/em><\/p>\n

The European Union is stepping up its commitment to education with the aim that every child and young person can access education, master at least reading, writing, basic math and digital skills, and be prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century as engaged global citizens. This will include the skills and competences to navigate the online environment safely and responsibly. With the Digital Education Action Plan, we support the sustainable and effective adaptation of the education and training systems of EU Member States to the digital age. With Europe’s Digital Decade the EU is working towards an ambitious \u2013 yet, attainable – target: by 2030 at least 80% of all adults should have basic digital skills. The Commission will also continue to support the EU Code Week, which provides training for teachers and gives millions of children hands-on experience in coding and digital creativity every year.<\/em><\/p>\n
