Early school leaving: current performance and recent change

« Assessment of main challenges in Member States
The extent of the challenge
Figure 2 illustrates the current performance (2012) and recent change (2009-2012) of Member
States as regards their rate of early school leavers. The dashed vertical line represents the minimum
annual progress for the EU28 as a whole that would be necessary to reach the target of « below 10% »
by 2020. If the rate of changes recorded in the past few years are confirmed (or improved) the EU27,
on average, is back on track to reach the headline target, although its progress is too small to be
overly optimistic. »
