Dana-Carmen Bachmann, the Head of vocational training and adult education unit of the European Commission, says that fusion of vocational training and adult education units has enhanced Commission's work on both areas.

D’après le baromètre 2013 de Wall Street Institute, un étudiant sur trois évalue son niveau d’anglais comme inférieur à la moyenne. Pourtant, ils sont également 88% à penser que la langue de Shakespeare est un atout important, tant au niveau professionnel que personnel.
