"Dropping out of school is a complex issue and poses a huge challenge facing Europe. This is why the EU’s action in implementing numerous measures and instruments to provide better support to Member States in drafting efficient and effective national policies for tackling this issue is important. Furthermore, the Europe 2020 strategy outlines six headline targets for Member States, one of which is a 10% reduction in the school dropout rate by 2020. However, the previous target set in 2003 was only met by seven Member States because, at the end of 2009, the school dropout rate for all young people aged between 18 and 24 was 14.4%. High dropout rates have major social and economic implications. Dropping out of school has an adverse impact on economic growth, resulting in economic and social instability. This is why actions aimed at harnessing the energy and developing the skills of young people are crucial for the future economic and social development of Member States. It is thought that reducing the school dropout rate across Europe by just 1% would create nearly half a million additional qualified young people each year."@en1
