"Early school leaving is a complex phenomenon, and reducing it requires strong political commitment. Early school leaving is undoubtedly a major contributing factor to unemployment, poverty and social exclusion, so the Europe 2020 strategy has made it one of its five headline targets to reduce the proportion of early school leavers to less than 10%.
The reality is that young people’s employability largely depends on their level of qualifications. According to data from Eurostat, in 2009, approximately 52% of young people in the EU who had left school early were unemployed. I welcome the fact that we are seeing a steady decline in the school leaving rate. However, more than half of the Member States have failed to achieve the target of 10%, since the vast majority of them still have a fragmented and inadequately coordinated approach to tackling this problem.
I support the proposed framework for the adoption of comprehensive and consistent strategies to help the Member States develop effective policies for reducing early school leaving. Significantly reducing the number of young people who leave school early is a vital investment not only for their future as individuals, but also for the future prosperity and social cohesion of the EU as a whole."@en1
