Thematic Area: Lifelong Learning; Equal Access to education
Year/Date: 03/12/2010
‘The European Parliament attaches great importance to the fight against poverty’, said Jerzy Buzek, President of the European Parliament, at the ETF conference Promoting Social Inclusion. ‘The promise of a better life for all without exception is at the heart of the European project.’ Mr Buzek’s video address was delivered at the closing of the event in Brussels.
The ETF conference, whose full title is “Promoting social inclusion and combating poverty through cooperation in education, training and work in EU neighbouring countries”, builds on the experience of the ETF and its partner countries surrounding the EU in these policy areas to review progress and identify future opportunities for cooperation.
In his address, Mr Buzek assured the European Parliament’s support in taking forward the ideas for promoting social inclusion and fighting poverty identified at the ETF event.
‘I’m very happy that at this conference EU neighbouring countries, with the support of the European Training Foundation, have the chance to exchange the ideas with each other, with EU Member States, and internationally’, said Mr. Buzek.

Topics
Lifelong learning
Put simply, lifelong learning means that people can – and should have the opportunity to – learn throughout their lives.
Equality in education
Across the world, certain groups of people are still hard pressed to get the most out of their education and training system.
Education and business
Partnership between the worlds of work and education is a process that is set to become an integral part of how we go about developing education.
Employment
“Employment”: a better guidance contributes to broader economic and social well-being by easing the functioning of labour markets.
Skills recognition
Making qualifications transparent and easily readable, even across international frontiers, is a high priority for the ETF.
School and teacher development
Teachers are a critical factor in education reforms. The ETF takes therefore the role of schools and teachers seriously throughout its work.
Key competences
Focusing on key competences is one of the surest ways of keeping education and training relevant in a fast-changing environment.
VET Governance
Governance modes and models have a high correlation with the overall performance of education and training policies, influencing their strategic formulation and implementation.
