Policies for the next generation, children and the youth, such as education and skills

Reforms and investments for children and the youth are essential to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the next generation of Europeans and to ensure that the generational gap is reduced. The RRF supports reforms and investments aimed at improving access to general, vocational, and higher education, as well as its quality and inclusiveness, focusing on digital education, early childhood education and care, and youth employment support.
