An informal meeting of EU ministers responsible for education will take place on 15 and 16 October in Dublin.
This meeting will be co-chaired and co-hosted by two Ministers - Minister for Education and Youth, Hildegarde Naughton TD and Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD. This meeting aims to bring together EU Ministers with responsibility for Education, including primary, post‑primary, tertiary education, and youth, to enable in‑depth discussions on shared priorities, emerging issues, and opportunities for strengthened cooperation.
The meeting will provide an informal forum for ministers to engage in strategic exchanges ahead of the formal EYCS Council (Education) in November.
