1. Additional narrative description of the reference to Lifelong Guidance
The report makes no direct reference to lifelong guidance. However, the document follows the progress of the Europe 2020 targets and notes, inter alia, that in Education and Training the targets of reducing early school leaving to 10% of the population aged 18-24 and increasing the share of young adults (30-34) who have completed at least a tertiary level qualification or equivalent to 40% are likely to be missed by 2020, should the current levels of progress persist (p. 8-9).
