eLearning: EU Action Plan to give new communication technologies a greater role in education

eLearning: EU Action Plan to give new communication technologies a greater role in education
On Wednesday, five days after the Stockholm European Council, at which the need for Europe to exploit the potential of new technologies to create a European education area was again brought to the fore, the European Commission adopted the eLearning Action Plan. The purpose of this Plan, put forward by Ms Reding with the support of Mr Liikanen and Ms Diamantopoulou, is to promote cooperation between the European Union, Member States, and education, training and industry to combine lifelong education, modernisation of our education and training systems and use of new information and communication technologies to maximum benefit. The eLearning Action Plan complements eEurope 2002 and is a key element in the European employment strategy and in the recently adopted strategy on the new European labour market.

10 and 11 May will see the first eLearning Summit on private/public partnerships, which will be held in Brussels and bring together Member States, the European Commission, Members of Parliament, and representatives of education and industry. A promotional campaign on the use of the Internet in schools, eSchola, will be run from 7 to 11 May.
