In early 2021, as the Education and Training 2020 strategic framework ceased to be in effect, the European Union set new targets for 2030. At this stage, the average performance of the 27 EU Member States is lagging behind on each of the targets and, in view of the available results, the targets on students’ skills seem particularly ambitious. Compared with the results of EU countries, France has more young children in education, fewer early school leavers and higher access to tertiary qualifications. It has also already exceeded collective targets in these areas. However, in terms of literacy, France, like almost all European countries, is far behind the common target for 2030.
