What are the long-term consequences of the war in Ukraine? So far, it is terra incognita, but we shed some light with our latest policy brief and expert meeting. They also prepare us for next week’s event: save the date and join us to pay tribute to the defenders of Ukrainian independence. The other focus of our week was education: whom and what is it there for, and why must progressives keep fighting for a Child Union.
By Margarita León, Christian Morabito, Emmanuele Pavolini and Michel Vandenbroeck

How efficient are Child Guarantee National Action Plans in addressing inequalities in access to childcare? This study answers the question by taking four member states as case studies: Belgium, Finland, Italy and Spain. Progressives must continue to fight for a Child Union, that recognises and invests in childcare as a right and the foundation of education and emancipation of EU citizens in the 21st century. This is a paramount welfare policy to promote present and future fairness and resilience of EU economies. Read more.

Capitalist dynamics have shown their limits in all spheres, but they endure in one of the most fundamental areas of society: education. ‘Commodification of education’ is the name we give to this phenomenon: it is where most opportunities to curb inequalities go to die. From educational technology (EdTech) to so-called ‘marketable skills’, it is time for governments to truly ask themselves for whom and what education is there for? Read more.
