Press Release: What should our schools be like in the 21st Century?

The European Commission asked Member States to cooperate better in order to make school systems more relevant to pupils' and employers’ needs in the knowledge-based Europe of the future. The Commission Communication 'Improving Competences for the 21st Century: An Agenda for European Cooperation on Schools', presented on 3 July, 2008, says that change, sometimes radical, will be needed if Europe’s schools are to equip young people fully for life in this century.
