Erasmus for All
Erasmus for All is the new EU programme for education, training, youth and sport proposed by the European Commission on 23 November 2011. The proposal is now under discussion by the Council (27 Member States) and the European Parliament who will take the final decision.
Erasmus for All is the new programme proposed by the European Commission for education, training, youth and sport. It would start in 2014 and would significantly increase the funds allocated for the development of knowledge and skills. Erasmus for All is based on the premise that investing in education and training is the key to unlocking people's potential, regardless of their age or background. It helps them to increase their personal development, gain new skills and boost their job prospects.
Erasmus for All
- helps young people gain more and better skills by studying and training abroad
- enhances teaching quality in EU and beyond
- supports Member States and partner countries in modernizing their education and vocational training systems
- promotes youth participation in society
- supports teaching and research on European Integration
- supports European grass-roots sport
How Erasmus for All would make a difference
- More opportunities for higher education and vocational students to study and train abroad to improve their skills and job prospects
- More opportunities for teachers, trainers and youth workers to study and train in another country
- More opportunities for young people to learn through youth exchanges, volunteering and participation in democratic life
- More opportunities for education and training institutions to exchange good practice
- increased cooperation between educational institutions, businesses or regional authorities and other bodies such as youth organizations
- launch of new “Knowledge Alliances” between higher education institutions and businesses
- Expanding the eTwinning initiative that connects schools via the internet
- Better cooperation in education policy, with an emphasis on practical outcomes such as the Europass CV, which is used by more than 10 million Europeans
- A new loan guarantee scheme making it easier for students at Master level to finance their studies in another country
- More support for higher education in other parts of the world, particularly in neighborhood countries.
