2026-07-22

The project presented is a request prepared by the European Federation of Education Employers (EFEE) to financially support the implementation of the EFEE Work-Programme 2026 and 2027. The work programme involves statutory meetings, policy working groups, projects and conferences, advocacy, capacity building as well as dissemination and communication activities. EFEE’s work is first and foremost oriented to improving the quality of education at all levels in the European States. To do so, EFEE carries out a set of diverse activities. Among them, there are several research-oriented projects that allow the organisation to collect data and become knowledgeable in the key education and training topics; expertise that then EFEE uses during its participation in EC Working Groups and other high-level European education-related meetings with EU policymakers and relevant education stakeholders to make a positive impact in the European Education Area. As a European social partner in education and the only representative of education employers at EU level, EFEE also performs a considerable amount of capacity building activities for strengthening the competence and capacity of European education employers during the social dialogue meetings and working groups. EFEE is also co-leading the European Sectoral Social Dialogue in Education (ESSDE) together with European Trade Union Committee for Education (ETUCE) focusing on key aspects of working conditions, teacher shortage, educational leadership.
