Council Resolution on education and training as a key driver of the Lisbon Strategy

This Resolution emphasises the significance of education and training in the overall Lisbon Strategy, in particular by highlighting in the 'Competitiveness' part of the Integrated Guidelines for growth and jobs their crucial place within the knowledge triangle, alongside research and innovation, and by stressing in the 'Employment' part of the Guidelines that lifelong learning is fundamental to enabling European citizens to succeed and participate fully in the knowledge economy, as well as to ensuring that all groups, including those at risk of exclusion, can develop the knowledge, skills and competences needed to do so.
