#8 Quality Learning

Integrate and improve different forms of learning, equipping young people for the challenges of an ever-changing life in the 21st century.

Education remains a key for active citizenship, inclusive society and employability. That is why we need to enlarge our vision about education for the 21st century, focusing more on transferable skills, student-centered learning and non-formal education to achieve a truly equal and universal access to quality learning.

Goals:

Guarantee universal and equal access to quality education and life-long learning.
Ensure that all young people have access to adequately funded non-formal education at all levels, that is recognised and validated.
Promote open-mindedness and support the development of interpersonal and intercultural skills.
Create and implement more personalised, participative, and cooperative learner-centered methods in every step of the education process.
Guarantee that education equips all young people with life skills such as money management and health education including sexual and reproductive health.
Incorporate methods within formal and non-formal education settings that enable the learner to develop personal skills including critical and analytical thinking, creativity and learning.
Ensure that young people have access to citizenship education to provide them with solid knowledge on political systems, democracy and human rights, attained also through community-based experiences in order to promote active civil participation.
