The European Training Foundation (ETF) collects comprehensive evidence on trends and developments in employment, education, and training in its partner countries. Each year, these efforts culminate in the publication of a cross-country monitoring report, which provides key insights drawn from the data collected. This publication is the 2024 edition of the ETF cross-country monitoring report. It has been produced on the assumption that readers and users will expect some continuity in the choice of issues for monitoring and reporting, so that progress can be tracked over time. It discusses the extent to which learners can benefit from lifelong learning opportunities that are accessible, of good quality and well managed. The report describes who the learners are, presents evidence on how well countries support their diverse learning pursuits and discusses whether this support is equitably distributed among learners of different backgrounds, genders, countries of origin and ages. The cross-country report covers 26 ETF partner countries in Central Asia, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, the Caucasus, and the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean. Depending on the availability of evidence, this number may vary from theme to theme. The countries included in the 2024 round of ETF monitoring are as follows: Albania, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo3, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Moldova, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Palestine4, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Tunisia, Türkiye, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
