Press Release: Information gaps holding back higher education in many EU countries

Not enough countries were using the information they collected on higher education to improve their universities and the opportunities they offered for students. This was shown in a Eurydice report published on 22 May 2014. The report 'Modernisation of Higher Education in Europe: Access, Retention and Employability' investigated what governments and higher education institutions were 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).
