Results of the EUNEC consultation on education councils in times of coronacrisis

September 25, 2020

At the initiative of the president, Mr Manuel Miguéns, the EUNEC general assembly meeting of 22 June 2020 decided to organize a consultation on the position of education councils in times of coronacrisis. The aim is to gather insights from our members, facing similar challenges during this global crisis, so that we can inspire and learn from each other. The results of this consultation can also feed the debates during our 2021 seminar on the theme ‘Are our education sytems fit for the future?’, a theme which has become even more relevant today.

A new Parliament, a new Commission

January 21, 2020

On 23-26 May 2019, more than 200,000,000 voters in 28 EU countries went to the polls to elect the members of the European Parliament. The new president of the Parliament is David Sassoli (Italian Partito Democratico). He is elected for a period of 2.5 year. They in turn voted on 16 July 2019 to elect Ursula von der Leyen as president of the European Commission. She put a team together based on nominees from national capitals - commissioners-designate - whose competence and abilities MEPs examined in a series of parliamentary committee hearings from September to November 2019. On 27 November 2019, the European Parliament approved the new European Commission headed by Ursula von der Leyen. Mariya Gabriel (Bulgaria) will be responsible for education, within a larger portfolio (Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth).
