Education and Training 2020 (ET 2020) is a new strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training that builds on its predecessor, the Education and Training 2010 (ET 2010) work programme. It provides common strategic objectives for Member States, including a set of principles for achieving these objectives, as well as common working methods with priority areas for each periodic work cycle. 9

Educational disadvantage should be addressed through high quality inclusive and early education; enhancing creativity and innovation, including entrepreneurship, at all levels of education and training the acquisition of transversal competences by all citizens should be promoted and the functioning of the knowledge triangle (education-research-innovation) should be ensured.
