KEY TAKEAWAYS
A JRC report has unveiled that the EU is about to exceed its targets for higher education graduates and reduce the level of early leavers.
JRC warns that Russia's invasion of Ukraine may negatively impact early school leavers and tertiary education attainment.
Spain, Italy, and Hungary struggle to reduce their early school leaving rates, encountering difficulties in meeting 2030 targets.
At least 45 per cent of individuals aged 25-34 in Europe will graduate by 2030, whereas less than nine per cent are expected to leave education and training early, according to the Joint Research Centre (JRC).
