uilding Europe is building peace: in this context, cooperation in the field of education appears to be an obvious and decisive asset for achieving a common and emancipating project for society. Thus, Europe has been interested in vocational training since the Treaty of Rome, and more broadly in education since the Maastricht Treaty. Since then, the Erasmus programme has become emblematic of school and university exchanges, and with Erasmus+, endowed with 26 billion euros for the period 2021-2027, mobility has never been so strongly
encouraged for European children and adolescents.
In addition to this European area of school exchanges and projects, international cooperation in education is also based on the formation of a shared horizon in terms of objectives and indicators. For the countries of the European Union, there is much to be gained by continuing to develop criteria for evaluating their education policies together, enabling them to be compared and improved. In this area, the tools of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have become fundamental, among other international bodies whose work makes it possible to form a complete picture of comparisons in the areas that I have identified as priorities for education policies: pedagogical standards (thanks in particular
to the PISA assessments), the well-being of pupils, the reduction of inequalities, and the status and remuneration of teachers. This pooling of criteria and their monitoring provide a valuable basis for national analyses and decisions, with a view to a European Union that favours the progress of qualified jobs and the training of enlightened citizens. The ongoing work of the Directorate for Evaluation, Forecasting and Performance Monitoring (DEPP) to develop accurate and reliable indicators, and thus contribute to international comparisons, is essential in this respect.
