Special Eurobarometer survey "Europeans 2014"
According to the survey, a majority of Europeans say that they have a positive
image of the EU (34%, which is 3 percentage points higher than the Standard
Autumn Eurobarometer released in November 2013), compared to 26% who say
they have a negative image of the EU. There is also growing optimism with regards
to the economic outlook in Europe and towards Europe's future.
Europeans in 20 out of 28 Member States say they expect the economic situation in
their home country to improve in the coming twelve months. The Special
Eurobarometer is based on a representative sample of people from all 28 Member
States of the European Union. In total almost 28,000 citizens aged 15 and older
were interviewed between 15th and 24th March 2014.

Eurydice report: "Modernisation of Higher Education in Europe: Access,
Retention and Employability"
The report finds that not enough countries are using the information they collect on
higher education to improve their universities and the opportunities they offer for
students. The report investigates what governments and higher education
institutions are doing to widen access to higher education, increase the number of
students that complete higher education (retention), and give guidance to students
on entering the labour market (employability). More than 30 countries took part in
the survey - all EU Member States, with the exception of Luxembourg and the
Netherlands, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Norway and Turkey.

Study on Policy Measures to improve the Attractiveness of the Teaching
Profession in Europe
Commissioned by the European Commission, the study looks in detail at what
makes the teaching profession attractive (or not); maps the different policy
measures that countries use (or could use) to attract high-quality recruits, to make
careers more attractive, and to enhance the social status and prestige of teaching;
and assesses their effectiveness. It also makes recommendations for
improvements. The study focuses on teachers in primary and secondary education
(ISCED 1, 2 and 3) in the 28 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway
and Turkey. It is based upon a survey of more than 80,000 student teachers,
teachers and school leaders, interviews with national decision-makers, and a review
of the research in the field.

U-Multirank
U-Multirank is a new international university ranking which assesses the
performance of more than 850 higher education institutions worldwide and
produces multi-dimensional listings rating universities on a much wider range of
factors than existing international rankings. This will allow users to obtain
information on the universities or specific disciplines, which most interest them, and
to choose criteria according to their own preferences. The U-Multirank bases its
assessments on five key areas: research performance, quality of teaching and
learning, international orientation, success in knowledge transfer (partnerships with
business and start-ups) and regional involvement.

Highlights
20th–21st May 2014: Education,
Youth, Culture & Sport Council
Conclusions
EU Ministers for Education, Youth,
Culture and Sport met in Brussels on
20th and 21st May. They adopted
conclusions on:
- effective teacher education,
addressing concrete issues such as
how to attract and retain the best
candidates, how to ensure the
relevance of teacher education
programmes and how to better exploit
the potential of new technologies and
resources. Member States were also
invited to use the funding
opportunities in EU instruments, such
as the Erasmus+.
– multilingualism and the
development of language
competences, inviting Member States
to adopt and improve measures aimed
at promoting multilingualism and
enhancing the quality and efficiency of
language learning and teaching.
– quality assurance supporting
education and training, which cover
specific issues such as the quality of
cross-border education and the extent
to which quality assurance
arrangements could be developed in
other areas of education and training,
such as schools, work-based learning
and non-formal learning.
The Council and the representatives of
the governments of the Member
States also adopted two resolutions
on:
– the EU Work Plan for Youth, which is
a medium-term plan for 18 months,
with key initiatives in specific youth
policy areas, so as to enable the EU
and its Member States to address
urgently the high youth
unemployment rates and the
consequences of the current crisis for
young people.
– the structured dialogue process,
which is a forum for continuous joint
reflection on the priorities,
implementation and follow-up of
European cooperation in the youth
field, involving a wide range of young
people and youth organisations. The
next cycle of the structured dialogue
will be launched in the EU Youth
Conference in October, under the
Italian Presidency. Youth
empowerment will be the priority
theme for the next 18 months.
The Council also adopted conclusions
on promoting youth entrepreneurship
to foster social inclusion, focusing on
creativity, innovation and green jobs
and inviting member states to
recognise the importance of
entrepreneurial education from an
early age, highlighting the role of non-
formal and informal learning to ensure
the autonomy and the personal
development of young people, as well
as to facilitate their successful
integration into the labour market.
At the meeting the Italian delegation
informed on the work programme of
the future Presidency, announcing the
following priorities:
- Youth empowerment, in particular
access to rights;
- Political participation of young
people;
- European public service.
