\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tOBJECTIVE: to propose the 2nd phase of the Community education programme in the field of\neducation, Socrates, for the period 2000-2004.\nSUBSTANCE: the proposal seeks to establish the second phase of the Socrates programme for the\nperiod from 01.01.2000 to 31.12.2004. The total budget proposed for this period is EUR 1.4 billion.\nBy supporting and supplementing the work of the Member States in this field, Socrates II will aim\nto promote the quality of education by promoting cooperation, increasing mobility and developing\nthe European dimension in all sectors of education. The aim is to help create a 'European education\narea' where lifelong learning will be promoted and citizenship can be fully exercised.\nThe main innovations of Socrates II include the attention devoted to lifelong learning by bolstering\n'adult education' and establishing 'European Knowledge Centres' to bring together implementers and\nbeneficiaries of other Community education, training and youth programmes. The proposal also seeks\nto define more clearly the players and beneficiaries of the programme.\nInternally, the programme has been rationalised, limiting the number of actions and decentralising to\nthe maximum the management of the actions undertaken at national level.\nThe structure of the programme: Socrates II has 4 objectives (as against 9 in Socrates I):\n- to strengthen the European dimension in education;\n- to promote cooperation in the field of education;\n- to help remove the obstacles to cooperation;\n- to encourage innovation.\nThe objectives are to be pursued by means of the eight actions, the first three of which concern the\nthree basic stages of education (school, university and other educational pathways), while the\nremaining five concern horizontal education policies (languages, multimedia, exchanges of\ninformation and other horizontal aspects, such as innovation, dissemination of results and joint\nactions).\nProposed actions:\n1) Comenius (school education), comprising school partnerships, or encouragement for the\nestablishment of partnerships between schools in the Member States and professional development\nprojects for schools' teaching staff;\n2) Erasmus (higher education), comprising traditional university cooperation and mobility projects;\n3) Grundtvig (other educational pathways), to promote education of the young after they have left\nthe school system and of adults who wish to resume their studies after a break from the education\nsystem;\n4) Lingua: teaching and learning of languages, using innovative methods;\n5) Atlas: projects to promote distance education and multimedia communication for educational\npurposes;\n6) Observation and innovation: exchanges of information and experience concerning European\neducation systems, and innovation in these sectors;\n7) Joint actions: generation of synergy with other Community programmes, in connection with policy\non 'European knowledge centres';\n8) Accompanying measures (miscellaneous initiatives to raise awareness of education, such as the\n'Europe in the School' competition and dissemination of the results of the projects carried out).\nThe programme is to be implemented consistently with other Community initiatives or programmes\n(Leonardo II, Youth, programmes concerned with research, culture, employment, SMEs, etc.) and\ndevote special attention to equality of opportunity for women and men.\nThe Commission is to manage the programme in close cooperation with Member States. Selection\nprocedures have been rationalised (2 calls for proposals rather than 5) and management rendered\nmore decentralised (Member States are required to set up integrated management structures to take\ncharge of the operational implementation of projects). As regards commitology, the Commission will\nbe assisted by a committee of representatives of the Member States, whose powers will vary\naccording to the subject in question.\nThe programme will be extended, under financing provisions to be determined, to the Eastern\nEuropean applicant countries, Cyprus, Malta, Turkey and the EEA countries. Cooperation with third\ncountries and the relevant international organisations (Council of Europe) will also be stepped up.\nAs regards evaluation and monitoring of Socrates II, the Commission will publish a first mid-term\nreview of the programme by 30.06.2003, and a final analysis report by 31.12.2005. Socrates II will\nbe evaluated regularly throughout its implementation, in cooperation with Member States.�

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tThe Committee has adopted an important report establishing a Community framework for measures for young people (whether or not they are students) for the period 2000-2004. Both the Socrates programme and the various youth programmes have been great successes, involving more than half a million young people. It was therefore important to ensure their future by giving them more resources. The Culture Committee sought to do this by adopting a large number of amendments to the Commission's initial proposals.\nThe committee unanimously adopted the report by Doris PACK (EPP, D) on Socrates II (2000-2004), under the codecision procedure, 1st reading. It wishes to give this programme a budget (over ECU 2 billion) more in keeping with its declared objectives. As the Commission points out, a student grant under the Socrates I programme is around ECU 100, whereas an amount five times as much as this is needed. For this reason, and also to meet new objectives included in Socrates II, such as to extend the programme to the education of adults or people who have left the education system, the committee voted for increased funding.\nThe report also seeks to expand certain objectives such as language learning and to remove obstacles to cooperation through better recognition of educational qualifications and periods spent in education. This would involve greater use of the education credit transfer system (ECTS). It also proposes to divide the measures into three major types: Actions 1-3: the three basic stages of lifelong education (Comenius/school, Erasmus/university, Grundtvig/others); Actions 4 and 5: horizontal measures (Lingua/languages, Minerva/multimedia); Action 6: horizontal measures (e.g. joint actions with other Community programmes).\n�

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tIn adopting the report by Mrs Doris PACK (PPE, D) on the second phase of the Socrates\nprogramme, the European Parliament called for the programme to contribute to the development\nof quality education and encourage lifelong learning. Its objective is to attain a participation rate\nof at least 10% of the target groups at whom the programme is aimed. Parliament therefore called\nfor the budget to be increased from the figure of EUR 1.4 bn proposed by the Commission to\nEUR 2 bn.\nParliament considered that Socrates should aim to:\n- strengthen the European dimension in education by encouraging the acquisition of language\nskills (by learning two other Community languages, one of which should be of a neighbouring\ncountry) and knowledge of other cultures;\n- promote cooperation in the field of education and remove obstacles to such cooperation, by\nencouraging mobility among teachers and students, cooperation between educational institutions,\nbetter recognition of diplomas and periods of study and improvements in the exchange of\ninformation;\n- encourage innovation in particular where such innovation is associated with new technologies\nand the learning of languages.\nParliament wished the programme to be devoted to five actions (rather than eight, as proposed\nby the Commission):\n- school education (Comenius),\n- higher education (Erasmus),\n- other educational pathways (Grundtvig),\n- teaching and learning of languages (Lingua),\n- education and multimedia (Minerva),\nas well as horizontal measures.\nIt wished the programme to be addressed to all pupils and students, all categories of staff involved\nin education, all types of educational institutions, local and regional authorities and other bodies,\nassociations, companies, organisations of both sides of industry and research centres and bodies.\nParliament called for cooperation with other local, national or European initiatives to be stepped\nup (including cooperation with Community agencies) and for Parliament to be informed of reports\non the implementation of the programme. These reports must contain information about the\nprogramme's contribution to the establishment of a European education system and on measures\ntaken to combat discrimination.\nAmendments were made to the annex to the programme in accordance with the rationalisation\nof activities called for by Parliament (5 actions rather than 8) and stressing support for cultural\ndiversity and learning of neighbouring languages (Parliament particularly suggested that a\nmultilingual European school television be established under Minerva).�

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tThe Commission accepts in full or in part those 34 of the 54 amendments proposed by the Parliament which :\n- improve and strengthen the initial proposal by incorporating features designed to make access to the programme easier for target publics who may have difficulties in taking part;\n- are designed to strengthen the emphasis placed on certain key features of the proposal, e.g. the dissemination of results and the academic recognition of studies pursued in other Member States via the ECTS (European course credit transfer system);\n- in relation to the initial proposal, provide useful additional information and clarify specific aspects of cooperation policy in the field of education.\nThe Commission rejects those amendments which:\n- concern institutional aspects such as rules on committee procedures and budgetary matters;\n- propose increasing funding, preferring to abide by its initial proposal;\n- are designed to group together Action 6 (Observation and innovation), Action 7 (Joint actions) and Action 8 (Support measures) into a single measure called \"Horizontal measures\", considering that this would detract from the political visibility of Actions 6 and 7 to which the Commission wishes to give priority in the context of creating a Europe of knowledge.�

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tThe Council's common position takes into account, to a large degree, the amendments proposed by the European Parliament and supported by the Commission in its amended proposal (25 amendments taken up out of the 34 put forward by the Commission). The amendments were as follows :\n- the explicit mention, in terms of the objectives of the programme, of the principle of integration of equal opportunities between men and women in all the actions;\n- greater emphasis on references to the European course credit transfer system (ECTS);\n- clarification of the arrangements on complementarity between the programme and other Community policies;\n- consolidation of the arrangements for monitoring and evaluation of the programme;\n- the name 'Minerva' to be given to Action 5 of the programme, which relates to open and distance learning and new technologies.\nOn the other hand, the Council did not take on board the Parliament's amendments concerning:\n- a stronger appeal to the Member States to remove obstacles to access to the programme;\n- the allocation of ERASMUS grants, giving a priority to students whose financial circumstances warrant special assistance;\n- the inclusion of an explicit reference to the possibility of using the Structural Funds to disseminate and transfer the programme's results on a wider scale.\nNor did the Council take up the Parliament's suggestions for the development of a multilingual European school T.V., the concept of 'participation in democratic culture' or the setting up of 'European knowledge centres'. On this latter point, the Council preferred a more general reference to the promotion of 'regional and local contact and interaction between the players involved in this programme and in Leonardo da Vinci and Youth programmes.\nThe main innovations in the Council's common position are as follow:\n- duration of the programme : seven years (in line with the proposed tilespan of the next phase of the financial perspective) instead of 5 years in the initial proposal;\n- the SOCRATES budget : MEUR 1550 over 7 years instead of MEUR 1400 over 5 years (as opposed to MEUR 2000 proposed by the Parliament);\n- breakdown of funds between actions;\n- selection procedures - two procedural variants within the category of centralised actions and the possibility of a 2-phase procedure in those cases where the scale and nature of the activities in question justify it;\n- commitology : the Council opted for a type IIb procedure and strengthened the number of measures to be decided using this procedure.�

report was written to fulfil the requirements set out in the European Parliament and Council decisions establishing the Community action programmes in the field of education (Socrates 2000-2006), vocational training ( Leonardo da Vinci 2000-2006 ) and integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education and training systems in Europe ( eLearning 2004-2006 ).","Together, these programmes received more than EUR 3 billion of Community funds .","For the period 2007-2013, the various initiatives under these three programmes have been integrated under a single umbrella, the new Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP). The decision to conduct a joint evaluation and to present this joint report follows the same line as this integration.","The Socrates programme, with a total budget of EUR 2.093 billion, had four specific objectives: (i) to strengthen the European dimension in education; (ii) to promote knowledge of EU languages; (iii) to promote cooperation and mobility in the field of education; and (iv) to encourage innovation in education.","The programme consisted of three main schemes - Comenius , Erasmus and Grundtvig -, covering schools, higher education and adult learning respectively.","Results of the evaluation : the evaluation demonstrated that these EU programmes were relevant to the needs of the sectors concerned and that many of the activities would not have taken place without their financial support:","in terms of school education , the key schemes with an impact on schools were Comenius and eTwinning. Partnerships supported under the Comenius and eLearning programmes gave schools a more European dimension and outlook and improved the school climate, in terms of cooperation between teachers and pupils and between different subjects in the schools participating. They helped to create a clearer sense of European identity by enabling schools to cooperate with schools in other EU countries. School partnerships enabled teachers to improve their teaching skills and gave pupils and teachers alike a chance to improve their foreign language and ICT skills, to experience European cooperation projects and to create sustainable links with their peers in other countries. Some 85% of the respondents who had participated in Comenius felt that their activity would not have taken place without funding from the Commission. Enhanced mobility within school education made the clearest impact out of the activities in the programme; in terms of teaching methods , projects, partnerships and individual mobility schemes influenced the educational practice of those directly involved. In particular, 64% of all beneficiaries reported increases in knowledge and skills and half saw sharing good practice across Europe as the main benefit; in terms of higher education , the largest positive impact was by increasing the capacity for mobility. This influenced participants\u2019 personal and professional development and contributed to a more open attitude and a clearer and better informed perspective for their subsequent studies or professional life and to improving their understanding of Europe and of \u201cbelonging to a European family\u201d. Knowledge of EU languages has improved and stronger contacts have been established with European colleagues. Participants in mobility schemes became more employable thanks to their international experience and better language skills. Erasmus has also had a considerable effect at national and international institutional levels. 94% of the participants in the survey agreed that Erasmus had increased and sustained cooperation between institutions. The effect on universities\u2019 internationalisation strategies and development of international support services is significant, whereas the effect on teaching and research at departmental level seems more indirect, e.g. via the international networks created. Erasmus has also acted as a driver for change in national and European higher education policies as it inspired five of the six lines of action in the Bologna Declaration; in terms of adult education , the strongest kinds of impact reported on adult learning were closer, sustained cooperation between institutions (93% of participating organisations), greater opportunities for mobility and a more European outlook on the part of individuals and institutions (90%). Grundtvig has thus clearly succeeded in sowing the seeds of a European dimension in adult education \u2013 a sector with almost no tradition of European cooperation. The evaluation reported a significant impact in terms of improving the quality of teaching and curricula and approaches to learning and management (74%). Enhanced professional skills and stronger networking between adult education staff in Europe were further benefits, and more than half the respondents (56%) felt that their participation in Grundtvig had made them more employable and adaptable. Lastly, Grundtvig had a comparatively strong impact on improving educational opportunities for disadvantaged social groups.","More generally, the report acknowledges that the creation of a \u201c European education area \u201d establishing a sustainable culture of European cooperation is the most significant impact. In particular, Erasmus has created infrastructure in which almost all European universities participate."],"type":"Follow-up

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tOBJECTIVE: to propose the 2nd phase of the Community education programme in the field of\neducation, Socrates, for the period 2000-2004.\nSUBSTANCE: the proposal seeks to establish the second phase of the Socrates programme for the\nperiod from 01.01.2000 to 31.12.2004. The total budget proposed for this period is EUR 1.4 billion.\nBy supporting and supplementing the work of the Member States in this field, Socrates II will aim\nto promote the quality of education by promoting cooperation, increasing mobility and developing\nthe European dimension in all sectors of education. The aim is to help create a 'European education\narea' where lifelong learning will be promoted and citizenship can be fully exercised.\nThe main innovations of Socrates II include the attention devoted to lifelong learning by bolstering\n'adult education' and establishing 'European Knowledge Centres' to bring together implementers and\nbeneficiaries of other Community education, training and youth programmes. The proposal also seeks\nto define more clearly the players and beneficiaries of the programme.\nInternally, the programme has been rationalised, limiting the number of actions and decentralising to\nthe maximum the management of the actions undertaken at national level.\nThe structure of the programme: Socrates II has 4 objectives (as against 9 in Socrates I):\n- to strengthen the European dimension in education;\n- to promote cooperation in the field of education;\n- to help remove the obstacles to cooperation;\n- to encourage innovation.\nThe objectives are to be pursued by means of the eight actions, the first three of which concern the\nthree basic stages of education (school, university and other educational pathways), while the\nremaining five concern horizontal education policies (languages, multimedia, exchanges of\ninformation and other horizontal aspects, such as innovation, dissemination of results and joint\nactions).\nProposed actions:\n1) Comenius (school education), comprising school partnerships, or encouragement for the\nestablishment of partnerships between schools in the Member States and professional development\nprojects for schools' teaching staff;\n2) Erasmus (higher education), comprising traditional university cooperation and mobility projects;\n3) Grundtvig (other educational pathways), to promote education of the young after they have left\nthe school system and of adults who wish to resume their studies after a break from the education\nsystem;\n4) Lingua: teaching and learning of languages, using innovative methods;\n5) Atlas: projects to promote distance education and multimedia communication for educational\npurposes;\n6) Observation and innovation: exchanges of information and experience concerning European\neducation systems, and innovation in these sectors;\n7) Joint actions: generation of synergy with other Community programmes, in connection with policy\non 'European knowledge centres';\n8) Accompanying measures (miscellaneous initiatives to raise awareness of education, such as the\n'Europe in the School' competition and dissemination of the results of the projects carried out).\nThe programme is to be implemented consistently with other Community initiatives or programmes\n(Leonardo II, Youth, programmes concerned with research, culture, employment, SMEs, etc.) and\ndevote special attention to equality of opportunity for women and men.\nThe Commission is to manage the programme in close cooperation with Member States. Selection\nprocedures have been rationalised (2 calls for proposals rather than 5) and management rendered\nmore decentralised (Member States are required to set up integrated management structures to take\ncharge of the operational implementation of projects). As regards commitology, the Commission will\nbe assisted by a committee of representatives of the Member States, whose powers will vary\naccording to the subject in question.\nThe programme will be extended, under financing provisions to be determined, to the Eastern\nEuropean applicant countries, Cyprus, Malta, Turkey and the EEA countries. Cooperation with third\ncountries and the relevant international organisations (Council of Europe) will also be stepped up.\nAs regards evaluation and monitoring of Socrates II, the Commission will publish a first mid-term\nreview of the programme by 30.06.2003, and a final analysis report by 31.12.2005.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tThe Committee has adopted an important report establishing a Community framework for measures for young people (whether or not they are students) for the period 2000-2004. Both the Socrates programme and the various youth programmes have been great successes, involving more than half a million young people. It was therefore important to ensure their future by giving them more resources. The Culture Committee sought to do this by adopting a large number of amendments to the Commission's initial proposals.\nThe committee unanimously adopted the report by Doris PACK (EPP, D) on Socrates II (2000-2004), under the codecision procedure, 1st reading. It wishes to give this programme a budget (over ECU 2 billion) more in keeping with its declared objectives. As the Commission points out, a student grant under the Socrates I programme is around ECU 100, whereas an amount five times as much as this is needed. For this reason, and also to meet new objectives included in Socrates II, such as to extend the programme to the education of adults or people who have left the education system, the committee voted for increased funding.\nThe report also seeks to expand certain objectives such as language learning and to remove obstacles to cooperation through better recognition of educational qualifications and periods spent in education. This would involve greater use of the education credit transfer system (ECTS). It also proposes to divide the measures into three major types: Actions 1-3: the three basic stages of lifelong education (Comenius/school, Erasmus/university, Grundtvig/others); Actions 4 and 5: horizontal measures (Lingua/languages, Minerva/multimedia); Action 6: horizontal measures (e.g. joint actions with other Community programmes).\n�

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tIn adopting the report by Mrs Doris PACK (PPE, D) on the second phase of the Socrates\nprogramme, the European Parliament called for the programme to contribute to the development\nof quality education and encourage lifelong learning. Its objective is to attain a participation rate\nof at least 10% of the target groups at whom the programme is aimed. Parliament therefore called\nfor the budget to be increased from the figure of EUR 1.4 bn proposed by the Commission to\nEUR 2 bn.\nParliament considered that Socrates should aim to:\n- strengthen the European dimension in education by encouraging the acquisition of language\nskills (by learning two other Community languages, one of which should be of a neighbouring\ncountry) and knowledge of other cultures;\n- promote cooperation in the field of education and remove obstacles to such cooperation, by\nencouraging mobility among teachers and students, cooperation between educational institutions,\nbetter recognition of diplomas and periods of study and improvements in the exchange of\ninformation;\n- encourage innovation in particular where such innovation is associated with new technologies\nand the learning of languages.\nParliament wished the programme to be devoted to five actions (rather than eight, as proposed\nby the Commission):\n- school education (Comenius),\n- higher education (Erasmus),\n- other educational pathways (Grundtvig),\n- teaching and learning of languages (Lingua),\n- education and multimedia (Minerva),\nas well as horizontal measures.\nIt wished the programme to be addressed to all pupils and students, all categories of staff involved\nin education, all types of educational institutions, local and regional authorities and other bodies,\nassociations, companies, organisations of both sides of industry and research centres and bodies.\nParliament called for cooperation with other local, national or European initiatives to be stepped\nup (including cooperation with Community agencies) and for Parliament to be informed of reports\non the implementation of the programme. These reports must contain information about the\nprogramme's contribution to the establishment of a European education system and on measures\ntaken to combat discrimination.\nAmendments were made to the annex to the programme in accordance with the rationalisation\nof activities called for by Parliament (5 actions rather than 8) and stressing support for cultural\ndiversity and learning of neighbouring languages (Parliament particularly suggested that a\nmultilingual European school television be established under Minerva).�

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tThe Commission accepts in full or in part those 34 of the 54 amendments proposed by the Parliament which :\n- improve and strengthen the initial proposal by incorporating features designed to make access to the programme easier for target publics who may have difficulties in taking part;\n- are designed to strengthen the emphasis placed on certain key features of the proposal, e.g. the dissemination of results and the academic recognition of studies pursued in other Member States via the ECTS (European course credit transfer system);\n- in relation to the initial proposal, provide useful additional information and clarify specific aspects of cooperation policy in the field of education.\nThe Commission rejects those amendments which:\n- concern institutional aspects such as rules on committee procedures and budgetary matters;\n- propose increasing funding, preferring to abide by its initial proposal;\n- are designed to group together Action 6 (Observation and innovation), Action 7 (Joint actions) and Action 8 (Support measures) into a single measure called \"Horizontal measures\", considering that this would detract from the political visibility of Actions 6 and 7 to which the Commission wishes to give priority in the context of creating a Europe of knowledge.�

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tThe Council's common position takes into account, to a large degree, the amendments proposed by the European Parliament and supported by the Commission in its amended proposal (25 amendments taken up out of the 34 put forward by the Commission). The amendments were as follows :\n- the explicit mention, in terms of the objectives of the programme, of the principle of integration of equal opportunities between men and women in all the actions;\n- greater emphasis on references to the European course credit transfer system (ECTS);\n- clarification of the arrangements on complementarity between the programme and other Community policies;\n- consolidation of the arrangements for monitoring and evaluation of the programme;\n- the name 'Minerva' to be given to Action 5 of the programme, which relates to open and distance learning and new technologies.\nOn the other hand, the Council did not take on board the Parliament's amendments concerning:\n- a stronger appeal to the Member States to remove obstacles to access to the programme;\n- the allocation of ERASMUS grants, giving a priority to students whose financial circumstances warrant special assistance;\n- the inclusion of an explicit reference to the possibility of using the Structural Funds to disseminate and transfer the programme's results on a wider scale.\nNor did the Council take up the Parliament's suggestions for the development of a multilingual European school T.V., the concept of 'participation in democratic culture' or the setting up of 'European knowledge centres'. On this latter point, the Council preferred a more general reference to the promotion of 'regional and local contact and interaction between the players involved in this programme and in Leonardo da Vinci and Youth programmes.\nThe main innovations in the Council's common position are as follow:\n- duration of the programme : seven years (in line with the proposed tilespan of the next phase of the financial perspective) instead of 5 years in the initial proposal;\n- the SOCRATES budget : MEUR 1550 over 7 years instead of MEUR 1400 over 5 years (as opposed to MEUR 2000 proposed by the Parliament);\n- breakdown of funds between actions;\n- selection procedures - two procedural variants within the category of centralised actions and the possibility of a 2-phase procedure in those cases where the scale and nature of the activities in question justify it;\n- commitology : the Council opted for a type IIb procedure and strengthened the number of measures to be decided using this procedure.�

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\tPURPOSE : to establish the second phase of the Community action programme in the field of education, Socrates for the period 2000-2006.\nCOMMUNITY MEASURE: Decision 253/2000/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the second phase of the Community action programme in the field of education, Socrates.\nCONTENT : this Decision establishes the second phase of the Community action programme in the field of education, Socrates. This programme shall be implemented over the period starting 01/01/2000 and ending on 31/12/2006.\nThe financial framework for the implementation of this programme for the period 2000-2006 is set at EUR 1 850 million.\nBy supporting and supplementing the work of the Member States in this field, Socrates will aim to promote the quality of education by promoting cooperation, increasing mobility and developing the European dimension in all sectors of education. The aim is to help create a \"European education area\" where lifelong learning will be promoted and citizenship can be fully exercised.\nThe main innovations of this programme include the attention devoted to lifelong learning by bolstering \"adult education\" and establishing \"european knowledge centres\" to bring together implementers and beneficiaries of other Community education , training and youth programmes. The Decision also seeks to define more clearly the players and beneficiaries of this programme.\nInternally, the programme has been rationalised, limiting the number of actions and decentralising to the maximum the management of the actions undertaken at national level.\nIn order to contribute to the developemnt of quality education and encourage lifelong learning, while fully respecting the responsibility of the Member Staes, the objectives of this programme shall be:\n- to strengthen the European dimension in education;\n- to promote cooperation in the field of education;\n- to help remove the obstacles to cooperation;\n- to encourage innovation.\nThe objectives are to be pursued by means of 8 actions, the first 3 of which concern the three basic stages of education (school, university and other educational pathways), while the remaining 5 concern horizontal education policies (languages, multimedia, exchanges of information and other horizontal aspects, such as innovation, dissemination of results and joint actions).\nProposed actions:\n1) Comenius (school education), comprising school partnerships, or encouragement for the establishemnt of partnerships between schools in the Member States and professional development projects for schools' teaching staff;\n2) Erasmus (higher education), comprising traditional university cooperation and mobility projects;\n3) Grundtvig (other educational pathways), to promote education of the young after they have left the school system and of adults who wish to resume their studies after a break from the education system;\n4) Lingua: teaching and learning of languages, using innovative methods;\n5) Atlas: projects to promote distance education and multimedia communication for educational purposes;\n6) Observation and innovation: exchanges of information and experience concerning European education systems, and innovation in these sectors;\n7) Joint actions: generation of synergy with other Community programmes, in connection with policy on \"European knowledge centres\";\n8) Accompanying measures (miscellaneous initiatives to raise awareness of education, such as the \"Europe in the School\" competition and dissemination of the results of projects carried out).\nThis programme is to be implemented consistently with other Community initiatives or programmes (Leonardo II, Youth, programmes concerned with research, culture, employment, SMEs, etc.) and devote special attention to equality of opportunity for women and men.\nThe Commission is to manage the programme in close cooperation with Member States. \nAs regards evaluation and montoring of this programme, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions:\n- on the accession of new Member States, a report on, the financial consequences of these accessions on the programme;\n- an interim evaluation report on the results achieved and on the qualitative aspects of the implementation of this programme by 31.12.2004;\n- a communication on the continuation of this programme by 31.12.2006 and;\n- and an ex post evaluation report by 31.12.2007.\nENTRY INTO FORCE : 03.02.2000.�

report was written to fulfil the requirements set out in the European Parliament and Council decisions establishing the Community action programmes in the field of education (Socrates 2000-2006), vocational training ( Leonardo da Vinci 2000-2006 ) and integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education and training systems in Europe ( eLearning 2004-2006 ).","Together, these programmes received more than EUR 3 billion of Community funds .","For the period 2007-2013, the various initiatives under these three programmes have been integrated under a single umbrella, the new Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP). The decision to conduct a joint evaluation and to present this joint report follows the same line as this integration.","The Socrates programme, with a total budget of EUR 2.093 billion, had four specific objectives: (i) to strengthen the European dimension in education; (ii) to promote knowledge of EU languages; (iii) to promote cooperation and mobility in the field of education; and (iv) to encourage innovation in education.","The programme consisted of three main schemes - Comenius , Erasmus and Grundtvig -, covering schools, higher education and adult learning respectively.","Results of the evaluation : the evaluation demonstrated that these EU programmes were relevant to the needs of the sectors concerned and that many of the activities would not have taken place without their financial support:","in terms of school education , the key schemes with an impact on schools were Comenius and eTwinning. Partnerships supported under the Comenius and eLearning programmes gave schools a more European dimension and outlook and improved the school climate, in terms of cooperation between teachers and pupils and between different subjects in the schools participating. They helped to create a clearer sense of European identity by enabling schools to cooperate with schools in other EU countries. School partnerships enabled teachers to improve their teaching skills and gave pupils and teachers alike a chance to improve their foreign language and ICT skills, to experience European cooperation projects and to create sustainable links with their peers in other countries. Some 85% of the respondents who had participated in Comenius felt that their activity would not have taken place without funding from the Commission. Enhanced mobility within school education made the clearest impact out of the activities in the programme; in terms of teaching methods , projects, partnerships and individual mobility schemes influenced the educational practice of those directly involved. In particular, 64% of all beneficiaries reported increases in knowledge and skills and half saw sharing good practice across Europe as the main benefit; in terms of higher education , the largest positive impact was by increasing the capacity for mobility. This influenced participants\u2019 personal and professional development and contributed to a more open attitude and a clearer and better informed perspective for their subsequent studies or professional life and to improving their understanding of Europe and of \u201cbelonging to a European family\u201d. Knowledge of EU languages has improved and stronger contacts have been established with European colleagues. Participants in mobility schemes became more employable thanks to their international experience and better language skills. Erasmus has also had a considerable effect at national and international institutional levels. 94% of the participants in the survey agreed that Erasmus had increased and sustained cooperation between institutions. The effect on universities\u2019 internationalisation strategies and development of international support services is significant, whereas the effect on teaching and research at departmental level seems more indirect, e.g. via the international networks created. Erasmus has also acted as a driver for change in national and European higher education policies as it inspired five of the six lines of action in the Bologna Declaration; in terms of adult education , the strongest kinds of impact reported on adult learning were closer, sustained cooperation between institutions (93% of participating organisations), greater opportunities for mobility and a more European outlook on the part of individuals and institutions (90%). Grundtvig has thus clearly succeeded in sowing the seeds of a European dimension in adult education \u2013 a sector with almost no tradition of European cooperation. The evaluation reported a significant impact in terms of improving the quality of teaching and curricula and approaches to learning and management (74%). Enhanced professional skills and stronger networking between adult education staff in Europe were further benefits, and more than half the respondents (56%) felt that their participation in Grundtvig had made them more employable and adaptable. Lastly, Grundtvig had a comparatively strong impact on improving educational opportunities for disadvantaged social groups.","More generally, the report acknowledges that the creation of a \u201c European education area \u201d establishing a sustainable culture of European cooperation is the most significant impact. In particular, Erasmus has created infrastructure in which almost all European universities participate."],"type":"Follow-up document"}],"events":[{"body":"EC","date":"2009-04-06T00:00:00","docs":[{"title":"EUR-Lex","url":"https://eur-lex.europa.eu/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexplus!prod!DocNumber&lg=EN&type_doc=COMfinal&an_doc=2009&nu_doc=159"},{"title":"COM(2009)0159"}],"summary":["This report was written to fulfil the requirements set out in the European Parliament and Council decisions establishing the Community action programmes in the field of education (Socrates 2000-2006), vocational training ( Leonardo da Vinci 2000-2006 ) and integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education and training systems in Europe ( eLearning 2004-2006 ).","Together, these programmes received more than EUR 3 billion of Community funds .","For the period 2007-2013, the various initiatives under these three programmes have been integrated under a single umbrella, the new Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP).
