Improving the EU’s performance in education is one of the key objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, adopted by the European Council in June 2010. Targets on education are to increase the proportion of persons having completed tertiary education and to reduce the number of early leavers from education and training. Today, Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, publishes the most recent data for the EU and Member States related to these targets.
