More than 60% of nine year olds in
the EU are in schools which are still not digitally equipped. The European
Commission today unveils 'Opening up Education', an action plan to tackle this
and other digital problems which are hampering schools and universities from
delivering high quality education and the digital skills which 90% of jobs will
require by 2020. To help kick-off the initiative, the Commission today launches
a new website, Open Education Europa, which will allow students, practitioners
and educational institutions to share free-to-use open educational resources.
