Commission asks for input on education and training programmes
The European Commission has launched a large scale public consultation on the development of new European programmes in education, training and youth. New programmes are needed to replace the existing Socrates, Tempus, Leonardo da Vinci and Youth programmes when they end in 2006. The consultation is designed to give the Commission a full picture of the needs, ambitions and wishes of those involved in education, training and youth at European level. The consultation will run from 4 November 2002 until 28 February 2003, after which, the results will be fed into legislative proposals for new programmes.
