„Across the EU, 9.5% of 18-24-year-olds had left education and training by 2023 without having attained upper secondary education, translating into about 3.1 million early school leavers. […] More than half (16) of all EU countries have reached the EU-level 2030 target of less than 9%, and the EU remains well on track to reach it.“
