Después del 2020… Hacia un Espacio Europeo de Educación en 2025.

Abstract

During the last few years, the Education Policy of the European Union (EPEU) has increasingly become subject matter from different perspectives. From the emergent field of supranational educational policy, its study and analysis is of much interest, on the one hand, to conduct a traceability of its evolution, its tendencies, and its education interests; on the other hand, to analyze the education-related actions that are conducted by the EU and grasp up until what extent do these actions crystallize in the national education systems. The present study analyzes the evolution of the EPEU, from its origins up until the twenty-first century to, subsequently, conduct an analysis of the education policies put in place during this long period, from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective. Both elements will allows us to extract general conclusions from the EPEU and extract some fundamental ideas about the future of the European Union in education matters and the viability of its latest proposal: the establishment of the European Space of Education for the year 2025.
