News archive - Interim evaluation Report of the Lifelong Learning Programme - published

The interim evaluation of the Lifelong Learning Programme was launched by the European Commission following the requirements of Decision No 1720/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 November 2006 establishing an action programme in the field of lifelong learning (the LLP Decision). The scope of this interim evaluation covers the entire content of the Lifelong Learning Programme, with all its sub-programmes and actions, over the implementation period of 2007-2009. 

 The 2007-2013 Lifelong Learning Programme was designed on the basis of “Education and Training 2010” work programme with the aim to ensure that EU education and training policies would contribute to the objectives of the Lisbon strategy. The Programme which is comprised of four sectoral programmes, the Transversal programme and the Jean Monnet programme supports transnational mobility, partnerships and other cooperation projects in all educational sectors. 

The Report was prepared under Service Contract No. 2009-5173-PPMI “Interim evaluation of the Lifelong Learning Programme (2007-2013)”. The evaluation was carried out by the Public Policy and Management Institute (Lithuania) and steered by the Steering  Group involving the Directorate General for Education and Culture of the European Commission and the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency.

This report answers all evaluation questions based on the results of the evaluation tasks carried out in the previous evaluation phases. A main report presents the evaluation findings, conclusions and recommendations on the basis of the data collected and analysed during the evaluation process. Since interim evaluation of the LLP was performed during the implementation phase, it focuses on the products and results of the Programme. 

The Final Report offers recommendations for the European Commission concerning the development of a Programme for the post-2013 period as well as the continued implementation of the current Programme, taking into account its main design and implementation deficiencies.
