We have just released the next edition of the Torino Process Cross-Country Digest: https://www.etf.europa.eu/en/publications-and-resources/publications/po…
As in previous years, the report provides a targeted cross-country overview of policies and actions in the partner countries of the European Training Foundation (ETF) in South-East Europe, Central Asia, the Eastern Partnership region, South and East Mediterranean and Turkey. This time around the focus is on polices and actions in support of lifelong learning.
Our analysis explores the extent to which the creation of lifelong learning opportunities is a priority in the reform agenda of the partner countries in the field of education and training, and the ways in which they are influencing the formation of that agenda. The report also discusses the efforts of authorities and stakeholders in implementing their reform plans in the wake of changing circumstances before and during the COVID 19 pandemic, and – where possible and appropriate – identifies policy gaps and lessons to be learned before providing a handful of policy recommendations in a cross-country perspective.
The report was prepared on the occasion of the 2021 international conference on Building lifelong learning systems: skills for green and inclusive societies in the digital era, and is guided by the outcomes of consultations with some 750 stakeholders who attended the event to discuss the features of effective and inclusive lifelong learning systems in a rapidly changing environment and how to build them for an increasingly diverse group of learners, without leaving anyone behind.
