Policy Briefs

In the Policy Brief we argue that educational authorities and the stakeholders of education, training and employment policies must build forms of coordination at the local level to help the youth achieve higher learning outcomes. It is indispensable that adult education, vocational education and training and higher education programmes provide meaningful frames of learning at different geographical scales for young people to fully take advantage of significant opportunities.

The Deliverable European Policy Brief bridges the gap between research and policymaking by addressing the challenges involved in analysing and structuring policymaking arenas on learning outcomes. It builds on the findings of the previous reports and the second participatory activity outlined, offering policy recommendations to address the main challenges identified in policy coordination.

The Deliverable Policy Brief is an updated version of the project’s two Policy Briefs submitted in Work Packages (WPs) 4 and 6, and utilizes the cumulative results from comparative analyses and participatory actions. In doing so, it addresses the key policy issue of enhancing poor learning outcomes in Europe by developing clear, actionable recommendations for policymakers.

The Joint European Policy Brief resulted from the cooperation of three European funded research projects CLEAR, SCIREARLY, and LETS CARE, which have addressed educational underachievement from various perspectives. Members of all projects have gathered during a European Research Seminar ‘Resilient Society: The Contribution of Education’ to discuss the pertinent issues in European educational policymaking and research, seeking to understand how resilience can be tackled in and through education. The key project’s findings and recommendations that reflect on the contribution of education to resilient societies are part of the Policy Brief.
