In December, Eurydice officially launched Eurypedia – the European Encyclopedia on National Education Systems. Eurypedia is a new, online resource for understanding education systems in Europe and learning about recent reforms.
Aiming at providing the most accurate picture of the education system organization in Europe, Eurypedia contains more than 5000 articles and covers 38 school and university systems within the 33 countries participating in the EU's Lifelong Learning Programme (all 27 EU Member States as well as Croatia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey). Eurypedia is a wiki-based tool and its articles are drafted and published directly by the Eurydice National Units, in collaboration with their respective education Ministries and/or national experts.
All Eurypedia content is available in English and, where applicable, in the language of the country. Information in Eurypedia is conveniently organized by topic and country and can be used to either learn about aspects of one particular education system or to compare topics between countries.
