„According to Eurostat, the ELET [Anm.: ELET = Early leaving from education and training] rate has steadily decreased from 17.0 % in 2002, to 13.4 % in 2011 and to 9.9 % of young people (aged 18-24) in 2020. […] Reducing ELET has been the most successful of the strategic objectives of the ET2020 strategy [Anm.: ET2020 = Education and Training 2020].“
