Let’s reduce EU educational inequalities – But how?

1 in 4 children in the EU is at risk of poverty or social exclusion. These children are more likely to underperform at school and have difficulty finding a decent job as adults.

This inequity has been reinforced by school closures during the coronavirus pandemic. Children from disadvantaged families often lack internet access, parental support or an adequate educational environment, which made learning more difficult for them.

This inequality must end. Because children are our future. What can the EU do to promote equal educational opportunities and stop social or geographical discrimination?

Let’s discuss this with Victor Negrescu (MEP S&D), Vice-Chair of the Committee on Culture and Education. Ask your questions & share your ideas!

Let's make Europe a
better place

United in diversity – that’s the motto we share at MeetEU! Since April 2020, we have been organizing weekly events with Members of the European Parliament, European Commission representatives, EU activists and scientists. At our events, participants can discuss their ideas directly with decision-makers and experts.

Our mission is to bring EU citizens closer to EU politics. Our event participants join from all over Europe. We all come from different backgrounds. But once a week, we come together with one goal: to share perspectives and make Europe a better place.

MeetEU is a project run by volunteers
