Lessons from Area-Based Initiatives in Education and Training

This report examines the available data on the nature and impact of affirmative action interventions in education and training in the EU and beyond, with a particular focus on local initiatives and interventions in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas.

The report documents the extent to which local education-related initiatives have improved educational outcomes in primary, secondary and post-compulsory education, for groups of young people who are relatively poor, who live in the poorest areas and historically have the lowest levels of education.
