New Eurydice Publication :: The Structure of the European Education Systems 2020/21: Schematic Diagrams
What are the different models of organisation in primary and secondary education and how long does each level last? How diverse are the programmes offered at tertiary level? The answers to these questions can be found in Eurydice’s latest publication on The Structure of the European Education Systems. This Eurydice publication makes a visual comparison on how countries across Europe structure their educational systems. This report contains illustrative comparisons on three main organisational models of primary and lower secondary education in Europe. In parallel, it offers a schematic overview on national diagrams and interpretation guidelines for the data. The information covers the 43 European educational systems of the 38 countries participating in the Erasmus+ programme.

New Eurydice Publication :: Compulsory Education in Europe – 2020/21
Looking for concise information on the duration of compulsory education/training in 43 European education systems? In this new Eurydice’s publication, you will find the following content: the duration of compulsory education/training throughout Europe, the starting and finishing ages of pupils in compulsory education. You will discover, for example, that in most European education systems, compulsory education starts at the beginning of primary education (ISCED level 1), often at the age of 6. However, attending at least the last year of pre-primary education (ISCED level 0) is compulsory in 19 education systems. France and Hungary report the earliest starting age for compulsory education (3 years old). By contrast, in Estonia and Croatia, compulsory education starts at the age of 7. The information is available for 43 European education systems covering 38 countries participating in the EU’s Erasmus+ programme.
