A strong evidence-base and solid analyses are key elements for informed policy discussions and policy developments in education and training. The European Commission draws on a range of sources, including key benchmarks and indicators, studies, international surveys, and secondary analyses, to ensure that this approach is properly included in the implementation of the strategic framework. European benchmarks target a level to be achieved by 2020 in the fields of: early school leaving, higher education completion, basic skills, early childhood education, lifelong learning, transition to the labour market, mobility between countries. Core indicators are also used to monitor progress in a number of additional priority areas currently not covered by benchmarks, such as languages , adults’ skills, teachers, investment in education and training, ICT in education, entrepreneurship in education and VET.
