Education and skills are essential for Europe’s competitiveness. This is a priority I share with Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund. As AI reshapes labour markets across the world, we need to invest in people as fast as we invest in technology.

Today, the OECD published the PISA global study that evaluates 15-year-old students’ abilities in reading, mathematics, and science to solve real-world problems. For us, this year's results send a clear signal: too many young Europeans are falling behind in essential skills. (1/2)
