The role of the ESC in education

Abstract

By undertaking a qualitative evaluation through structured questioning, and facilitated discussion and feedback, information has been gathered about the current state of education and training in Europe. Heterogeneity within the ESC community of countries is evident. The priorities for an ESC and an ESC Education Committee programme should include advocacy, standard setting, direct provision of education, assessment and support for trainers through a variety of mechanisms with a strong emphasis on e learning.
