This report presents the findings of a study commissioned by Eurofound and carried out by the Danish Technological Institute on anticipating the challenges facing educational and training services across Europe. The purpose of the study was to provide empirical evidence about how changes in the education and training sector in the 27 EU Member States (EU27) influence the present and future job prospects, skills and working conditions of those employed in the sector as teachers and trainers. Within the overall context of lifelong learning, the sector is undergoing profound changes and the study aims to identify trends that present the greatest challenges, and the most important opportunities, for teachers and trainers. It also seeks to illustrate practices that can serve as a source of inspiration for those working in the field.

Article

/The education and training sector is not only an important employer in itself, but is also expected to play a key role as a provider of skills for the knowledge-based economy, contributing to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth as set out in the Europe 2020 strategy. This study’s first aim was to provide an analysis of the quantitative and qualitative mismatches between demand and supply of labour and skills in the education sector, which might ultimately contribute to its employment performance. The second aim was to assess performance of the education and training sector and its capacity for providing adequate skills across the economy./
