The European Training Foundation’s (ETF) latest mapping report on the progress of 27 countries in education and training from the EU’s neighbourhood regions and Central Asia shows a more homogeneous picture as many countries have passed through similar stages since the COVID-19 outbreak.
In all countries, there are concerns about the preparation and support for teachers and trainers, the quality and access to provision and reaching out to vulnerable groups, sustaining the actions and measures adopted, and the special requirements for practice-based learning. Recognition of these needs and willingness to capitalise on efforts made in response to the crisis are driving forward steps needed for future education and skills development.
Consult the report for more details on the steps countries are taking to address these issues and how ETF is supporting them through various activities and initiatives.
