Problems that came with the pandemic in education, together with goals set by EC, development of digital competencies probably contributed to The European Commission's publication of its vision for how ‘blended learning’ can be a major driver to giving as many children as possible a high quality and inclusive primary and secondary school education.

Council Recommendation, ‘blended learning’ is the term which, informal education, is when a school, educator, or student takes more than an approach to the learning process.

Blended learning, it says, can help to improve the inclusiveness of education, particularly due to its flexibility. All environments and tools should be equally accessible to minority groups, children with disabilities or from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and should not lead to discrimination or segregation.

Addressing the most pressing gaps exacerbated by the pandemic

Mariya Gabriel, EU Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said: “Striving for a vision of better quality and inclusive education and training is by no means limited to the COVID-19 context. There is an opportunity now to learn and move forward from the most recent experiences. Today’s proposal maps a vision of the education we want to see in Europe. One that supports the overall goals of the European Education Area and Digital Education Action Plan to promote quality and inclusion, green and digital education across Europe.

The commission’s recommendation, she added, is aimed at ‘guiding member states in strengthening the preparedness and outreach of their education systems to the benefit of pupils and students, their families and the pedagogical staff.”

A focus on the development of a blended learning approach in primary and secondary school education will be included in the regular progress reports of the European Education Area and the Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027,” added the commission.
