ETUCE Director @jelmerevers.com reacts to the #SOTEU speech of @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu :

“Not a single word on education – the foundation of Europe’s future? That says a lot.”

Europe cannot reinvent itself without investing in teachers and public education.

Public investment in education: an optic illusion

@ec.europa.eu published the report “Investing in Education 2025” highlighting “early signs of recovery” in national shares of public spending devoted to education. But is this truly the light at the end of the tunnel, or a swan song?
