Lifelong Learning
A survey offers the first overview of lifelong learning activities undertaken in the member states of the European Union, noting the strategies being implemented to varying degrees from one country to the next and presenting a first snapshot of the trends that have developed. The survey found that lifelong learning is a concept that emerged in the 1970s and defines lifelong learning in terms of individual responsibility. The survey also notes the challenges facing the education systems, such as strengthening basic learning, facilitating access and diversifying provision in higher education. The member states have all included lifelong learning in the role of enhancing employability. They are looking to their school systems to instill the ability and desire to learn from compulsory education onward and to adapt higher education to demand. The bulk of the document consists of country reports on the state of lifelong learning efforts in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. (Contains 24 references and a questionnaire.) (KC)
Europe Enlarged
The expansion of the European Union (EU) has put an end to the East-West division of Europe. At the same time it has increased the cultural heterogeneity, social disparities and economic imbalances within the EU, exemplified in the lower living standards and higher unemployment rates in some of the new member states. This important new reference work describes the education systems, labour markets and welfare production regimes in the 10 new Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries. In three comparative chapters, discussing each of these domains in turn, the editors provide a set of theory-driven, comprehensive and informative indicators that allow comparisons and rankings within the new E...

International Encyclopedia of Education
The field of education has experienced extraordinary technological, societal, and institutional change in recent years, making it one of the most fascinating yet complex fields of study in social science.

Education is a multi...
School Heads in the European Union
This report was a working document for a EURYDICE Network seminar held in Paris on June 29, 1995. The document compares the status and responsibilities of school heads in the education systems of the European Union and the European Free Trade Association/European Economic Area (EFTA/EEA) countries. The term "school head" was chosen to designate any person in charge of a school, since many diverse terms are used to describe this individual in various countries. Information has been divided into 15 broad categories as concerns the recruitment procedures, qualifications, and responsibilities of school heads. The report covers all of compulsory education and upper secondary education. In addition to the explanation of the various duties expected of the school head, individual country reports provide a fuller description of the specifics in each nation. Numerous charts, graphs and maps accompany the text. (EH)
