Though education was not one of the policy areas underlying the formation of the European Union, today it is an established aspect of Europeanized policy making. This chapter summarizes educational policy in the EU, pointing out the characteristics that have distinguished the process of educational institutionalization during the last 30 years. It then discusses the educational programs & initiatives that were introduced in the mid-1980s & 1990s. Finally, the institutionalization process itself is examined, & trends & new policy directions are explored. In particular, it is noted that the question of national identity must be considered, as EU involvement in educational policy has caused & will continue to cause conflict among member countries & transnational political groups.
