INNOVATION PROCUREMENT: AN ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION TOWARDS AN INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

The need for better educational systems is, nowadays, an undeniable issue. Within the European Union, education is seen as the basis for cultivating a fairer, more inclusive, resilient and innovative Europe. Based on these premises, strategic frameworks (first at ET2010, and then ET2020) addressed to the EU countries have been settled up, defining common strategic objectives and directions to guide and support EU members in overcoming the several challenges of the Education and Training system face. Despite the existing positive signs of progress, the studies show that further improvements are necessary to meet the targets defined by the European Commission.
