Council Conclusion of May 2009 on new benchmarks

5 Reference levels of European performance (‘European benchmarks’) Based on existing ones- Low achievers in basic skills (in reading, maths and science, max. 15% - Adult lifelong learning participation: 15% (previously: 12.5%)- Early school leavers (10%, same as before)New- Pre-primary participation: 95% of children between 4 years old and the age for starting compulsory education (before 90% target for 4 year olds)-Tertiary level attainment at least: 40% of age group 30-34 (instead of 45%)

Commission to work further on following areas- Employability ( submit proposal by end 2010)- Mobility (submit proposal by end 2010) - Language learning (submit proposal by end 2012)

5 new education benchmarks: Evolution since 2000

Pre-primary (EU: 85.6%/ 90.7%, EE: 87.0%/93.6%): good progress

Tertiary: good progress (EU: 22.4%/31.1%, EE: 30.8%/34.1%)

Early school leavers: on track

Low achievers and adult lifelong learning: decline in performance

Low achievers: in maths Estonia in 2006 at 12.1%, science 7.7%

Europe 2020 Strategy

75 % of the population aged 20-64 should be employed.

3% of the EU's GDP should be invested in R&D.

The "20/20/20" climate/energy targets should be met.

Commission Communication: The share of early school leavers (18-24) should be under 10% and at least 40% of 30-34 year olds should have tertiary attainment.

European Council Conclusions: quantitative targets in these areas to be set in June 2010

20 million less people should be at risk of poverty.

Continuous progress in reducing share of early school leavers

However, reaching 10% goal still ambitious (EE 2020 goal: 9.5%)
