Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education and training are the foundation for personal development and well-being, and their benefits go well beyond the individual, affecting the whole society. Investing in high quality education and training for all is a key priority for the European Union. Educational systems, however, are currently facing a particularly challenging situation. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to school closures and learning disruptions that exacerbates educational inequalities. At the same time, education and training systems have to prepare for the challenges of the 21st century and transform themselves to enable children, youth and adults to actively participate in modern economies and societies. For all these reasons, promoting quality investment in education and training is a key political priority for the EU and the Member States. In a situation where more EU resources than ever are mobilised for education and training through Next Generation EU and the new Multi-annual Financial Framework to support the recovery after the COVID-19 crisis, it becomes fundamental to ensure that every single euro is spent properly. All member States have included education and skills measures in their National Recovery and Resilience Plans. All levels and sectors of education are covered and investments, notably in digital learning and infrastructure, as well as green and modern physical infrastructure but also in teachers' training, skills development, account for around 12% of total planned spending. Investing in high quality education and training necessitates the identification of effective and efficient investments. An expert group on quality investment in education and training has been created at the EU level to help the Commission and the Member States identify those education and training policies that have the potential to boost education outcomes, promote inclusion and equity, ensure pupils' well-being and improve the efficiency of spending. This report is meant to present the work carried out by this group between May and December 2021, and discuss its main findings and policy conclusions with Member States' representatives and key stakeholders. One of the reasons why education and training systems are characterised as complex systems is that while policy evaluations can show that a particular programme has been successful in improving outcomes in some contexts, the results are often not transferable when applied in a different context. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to distinguish what defines a quality investment in education and training in general. Nevertheless, this interim report tries to draw some preliminary conclusions based on robust evidence on the effectiveness and efficiency of different education and training policies. The analysis has been organised around four focus areas, and notably: i) teachers and trainers; ii) digital learning; iii) management, infrastructure and learning environments; and iv) equity and inclusion. Moreover, part of the work has been dedicated to two important aspects of policy evaluation that may help design innovative and effective education policies: impact evaluation analysis and cost benefit analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is the key to American competitiveness and a strong economy, and continued federal investment in education is needed in order to support improvements in student achievement and put American economy on the path to sustained growth. The United States must continue to invest in education in order to create a system that is more equitable and that produces American students who are more competitive in the global marketplace for talent. Investment in education makes intuitive sense to the American people, but in this tough budgetary climate, it seems that every public investment is on the table to be cut. This paper discusses six reasons why continued federal investment in education should be a no-brainer as the congressional super committee negotiates this fall: (1) Global competitiveness; (2) Ensuring all students reach high standards of achievement; (3) Economic returns; (4) Jobs; (5) Savings elsewhere; and (6) Path to the middle class. Of course, investing in education isn't going to increase student achievement by itself. It matters how that money is spent, and now more than ever it is important to ensure money is spent fairly, efficiently, and effectively. Here are a couple of key principles to follow: (1) Spend scarce federal money where it is most needed; and (2) Education funding should be efficient and effective, emphasizing returns on investment. The author concludes that investment in education is a social and economic imperative, and efficient and effective federal education spending must be protected in this fall's super committee negotiations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this insightful text, the editors reflect on contributions from scholars representing Bangladesh, Greece, India, Israel, New Zealand, Switzerland, UK and USA, by showing how the majority of educational and social institutions in both developed and developing countries have failed to overcome the many barriers to an effective integrated system of education, suggesting ways as to how these barriers might be challenged. By looking closely at the overt and covert injuries of educational and social exclusion, a variety of approaches to overcoming the consequences of those challenges is proposed, drawing together strands of social theory, research data and conceptualisations for social action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 2000, in Lisbon, the European Union launched an agenda for growth, jobs, sustainability and competiveness with a ten-year target. In 2010, the agenda was re-launched with different specific objectives but with the same final goals. Why do the European Union leaders engage with these ten-year plans? What exactly do they commit to when they do so? Do they learn from the results, or is this a rhetorical exercise that complex organizations need to raise attention to certain issues? This volume is the first-ever systematic study of the Lisbon agenda of the European Union, now called Europe 2020. It explains the rise of the Lisbon agenda as governance architectures and examines its components across time and sectors. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy.
