The federal contributions continue to play an important role in ensuring the development and progress of French-language education in our province.

Education: There has been good progress in ensuring that all Roma children complete at least their primary school education, including an increase in pre-school participation in Finland from 2% to 60%; a new law in Hungary to make two years of pre-school compulsory for all children; a similar two-year obligatory pre-school period in Bulgaria; and ‘travelling teachers’ who move with Traveller communities in Ireland.

II. Diversifying the learning and teaching of the languages of the European Union - In view of the developments that have taken place and the progress that has been made over the last ten years in the teaching of languages in all the Member States of the Union, pupils should as a general rule have the opportunity of learning two languages of the Union other than their mother tongue(s) for a minimum of two consecutive years during compulsory schooling and if possible for a longer period; the aim of such teaching, going beyond introductory tuition, is the acquisition of clearly defined skills; it is for each Member State to specify thos ...[+++]e language skills and to determine the different levels of competence required and the appropriate forms of certifying achievement; - the provision of teaching for languages which are less widely used or less frequently taught should be increased and diversified as far as possible, at all levels of teaching and throughout all types of curricula; - in view of the difficulties in the way of such diversification, it will be necessary to use all the opportunities offered by open and distance teaching and the new technologies; schemes to develop and disseminate these teaching and learning tools should receive special attention at Community level.

take stock of initiatives taken in other survey areas, including the impact of ICT on teaching and learning, the labour market outcomes of mobility, and the social background of tertiary students; assess progress made towards the establishment of a coherent framework of indicators and benchmarks for following-up on the Lisbon objectives in the area of education and training, including a reconsideration of the suitability of existing indicators used for monitoring progress".
