"Early school leaving (ESL) is a complex phenomenon and a huge challenge facing Europe. The Europe 2020 strategy establishes, among its headline targets for Member States, the reduction of ESL to 10% by 2020. We agree with this report which appreciates some of the progress made by EU Member States in this regard, but posits the theory that much more needs to be done. The social and economic implications of high rates of ESL are stark. Interventions to harness the energy and develop the skills of young people are therefore crucial. Structural reforms are therefore important for giving young people the skills and training that they need to make a smooth transition into the world of work It is crucial that schools encourage students’ mobility between the different educational streams, be it academic, vocational, and so on. Offering students a wider choice at school is not only important for increasing their motivation to stay on, but also for providing them with the broad spectrum of knowledge and essential skills necessary for finding employment later."@en1
