Description
1) Objective
Europe’s competitiveness and social cohesion depend on strong basic skills. Too many young people across the EU struggle with reading, mathematics, science, digital and citizenship skills. Underachievement in basic skills is threatening innovation, democracy and economic competitiveness. In the Action Plan on Basic Skills the European Commission addresses underachievement in basic skills and promotes inclusion and excellence, starting from early childhood education and care and through all stages of school education. The Action Plan comprises measures directed at learners, educators, policy makers, parents and the wider community.
The objective of topic 6 is to test and validate measures at the school level that have the potential to reduce underachievement in basic skills among children and young people, with a view to supporting school authorities in implementing these measures at scale through impactful structural reforms, policies or initiatives.
2) Eligibility
Applicants must be legal entities (public or private bodies) active in the field of education and training, research and innovation or in the world of work
