The European Commission is gathering public input ahead of a new Education Package, to be announced this November. Your feedback can help shape it. A Call for Evidence is now open, focusing on three areas: - Basic skills: tackling declining performance in literacy, maths, science, digital skills and citizenship. - Teachers and trainers: improving working conditions, career development and the attractiveness of the profession. - Digital education infrastructure: modernising Europe’s digital education systems in the age of AI, while promoting human agency, inclusiveness and digital sovereignty. Schools, teachers and trainers, education authorities, researchers, civil society and other interested stakeholders are invited to share evidence, research, relevant policies and successful practices. Submit your contribution by 8 September!
Teachers are at the heart of every education system. But how are they rewarded across Europe? Explore the Eurydice interactive tool to compare statutory salaries, allowances and career structures across 37 European education systems. The webtool provides comparative and national data on the statutory salaries and allowances of full-time teachers and school heads in public schools across the Eurydice Network. It covers all EU Member States, as well as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and Türkiye. What makes the tool the stand out? It allows you to browse salary data by education level, from pre-primary to upper secondary; to track how salaries evolve across school years and throughout a career; and you can download the full dataset or export visuals for easy use. Discover the latest data, explore how teacher salaries and career progression are structured in each country, and gain a deeper understanding of education systems across Europe.
This Eurydice report focuses on the topic of equity and inclusion in higher education in Europe. It analyses the current level of alignment of European higher education systems with the ten Principles & Guidelines agreed by all EHEA countries as a blueprint to take forward the commitment of improving the social dimension.

The Intro to EHESO Microdata training addresses first-time and entry-level EHESO Microdata users (e.g. early career researchers, policymakers,…). The main goal is to inform about the coverage of the EHESO Microdata, enable users to navigate through the EHESO microdata interface, select the data of interest (variables, countries, years) and extract data according to their needs.
