THE EUROPE 2020 STRATEGY ON THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD

This article reviews recent literature concerning the Europa 2020 strategy. Using data from Eurostat and Eurydice database , I performed analyses and made estimates regarding aims at formal, non-formal, ICT education or informal education for all levels, from pre-school to adult vocational training. I have also performed analyses and compared the objectives of the strategy for Romania and the E.U countries about the integration in a proportion of over 95% of the pre-schoolers in the educational system, the decrease below 15% of the number of the 15-year-olds who do not have sufficient knowledge of reading, mathematics and sciences, the decreases of the weight of the 18-24- year-olds who leave school early with 3.9% starting from a value of 13.9% in 2010 and targeting a value of 10%. As for the indicator regarding the increase in the number of persons with higher education for those between the ages of 30 and 34, the EU has a target of 40% for 2020, starting with a value of 33.8% in the year 2010. Increasing the participation of adults in lifelong learning activities by 15%, and attending part of the study or professional training program in another country, for students (reaching a minimum of 20%), and for young people aged 18- 24 years minimum 6%. Empirical and secondary data are used to support the claim that each country applied aims of the Europa 2020 strategy and how each of them trough support and knowledge of ICT succeeded in using and putting them into practice.
