Abstract
The European Commission’s aims in relation to education and training have been expressed by a set of benchmarks and indicators (Ioannidou in EERJ 6: 336–347, 2007; Grek in Journal of Education Policy 24: 23–37, 2009; Lawn and Grek in Europeanizing Education: Governing a New Policy Space. Symposium Books, Oxford, 2012; Holford and Mohorcic-Spolar in Lifelong Learning in Europe: Equity and Efficiency in the Balance, pp. 39–61, 2012). In relation to adult learning, it includes the benchmark that by 2020, 15% of the adult population between the ages of 25 and 64 needs to participate in at least one lifelong learning activity, measured on a four weeks basis (European Commission in Strategic Framework for Education and Training. European Commission, Brussels, 2009).
