Abstract
To emerge from the recent economic and financial crisis stronger and more cohesive, the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth
aims at ambitious targets. There is a consensus that skill levels must be raised to improve competitiveness, to encourage economic growth, to provide attractive job prospects, and to promote social inclusion. Vocational education and training (VET) systems must contribute substantially to this process. VET is instrumental in creating the skills needed. Raising skills levels will have obvious impacts on productivity levels and
competitiveness. However, investments in education also pay off in the form of social benefits (e.g. reduced crime levels and improved health conditions)
