Widening participation (ECEC 4+) Increased rate in EL, LT and PL. However, there are still 11 Member States with a participation rate below 90 % and 2 below 80 % (HR and SK)

Widening participation (ECEC <3)

Widening participation (preventing ELET)

13 Member States met their national targets Widening participation (preventing ELET) 17 MS recorded rates below 10 %; BE and DE were below 10 % in 2014 but are now just above (10.1 %) 13 Member States met their national targets

Responsive education systems: modernisation agenda

Early on: quality ECEC Starting age of legal entitlement to ECEC Professionalisation of ECEC all along the cycle (teachers with tertiary qualifications, CPD a duty or necessary for promotion, curriculum guidelines) Language support Quality framework and development of indicators

Teachers: dealing with diversity Collaboration within and outside schools (among teachers, and whole school) Guidance on underachievement in ITE Dealing with diversity as PD topic Teacher workforce
