Cedefop Newsletter no. 49 - April 2015 Main story:  DGVT meeting in Riga discusses key targets for 2020 'The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.' With this quote by American writer Alvin Toffler, Dr Juris Binde, President of Latvijas Mobilais Telefons, ended his speech at the meeting of Directors General for vocational education and training (DGVT), hosted by the Latvian EU Presidency in Riga (20-21 April). News from Cedefop:  Cedefop reviews VET data in European countries on the way to 2020 Did you know that adult participation in lifelong learning is almost three times the European Union (EU) average in Denmark? Or that 68% of enterprises in Estonia provide training (compared to 66% in the EU), and the percentage of early leavers from education and training in France is lower than the EU average? Austrian Consul visits Cedefop Austrian Consul in Athens Christian Vlazny discussed opportunities of cooperation with Cedefop during a visit to the agency on 23 April. Mr Vlazny expressed his interest in Cedefop's work to support Member States and focused on direct benefits of vocational education and training (VET) policies for the European citizen. 19-year-old from Portugal wins Cedefop video competition We are delighted to announce the winner of our video competition for the best vocational education and training (VET) experience in Europe! Local community seeks Cedefop's expertise In April, Cedefop experts made presentations at information days organised by the vice-mayors of two municipalities in the Thessaloniki area. On the way to 2020: data for vocational education and training policies European policy-making in vocational education and training (VET) needs to be supported by sound evidence. In this report, Cedefop has selected a set of 33 indicators to quantify some key aspects of VET and lifelong learning. The selection is based on the indicators' policy relevance and their importance in achieving the Europe 2020 objectives. This publication should be regarded as a valuable tool to help policy-makers better understand and assess VET developments in each country. The report includes recent evidence from the European Statistical System. While this set of indicators does not claim to assess national systems or policies, they could be used to reflect on progress towards the strategic objectives set for Europe. The indicators take 2010 as the baseline year and present statistical overviews in all European Union Member States and also the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey.
