Council conclusions on a coherent framework of indicators and benchmarks for monitoring progress towards the Lisbon objectives in education and training

Council conclusions as amended and adopted during the meeting of the Education, Youth and Culture Council on 25 May 2007.

The Council considers that the 'Education and Training 2010' work programme constitutes the strategic framework for the Council's work in the field of education and training; discussions on future policy orientations to follow up on the 'Education and Training 2010' work programme are now beginning and should be stepped up in the years ahead; identifying, defining and implementing a coherent framework of indicators is an ongoing process, which must be synchronised with the strategic framework provided by the 2010 work programme and its eventual successor.
