[Irtalk] EUROPA - PRESS RELEASES - Press release - Commission launches 'Opening up Education' to boost innovation and digital skills in schools and universities

[Hilton Gibson]

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.
