Common indicators

The indicator for the number of participants in education or training activities (No 10) is aligned with the RRF objectives (see previous sections). Activities under education refer to adult learning and education levels 0-6 as defined under the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED), while training activities include off-/on-the-job training and continuous vocational education and training. The Delegated Regulation also requires that the education and training dimension linked to digital skills be reported separately, as well as by age and gender. According to the data available for this indicator, more that 1.7 million people in the 12 Member States, of whom roughly 53 % females, have been benefitting from RRF funding. The above figure shows, for example, that out of Belgium’s total population for 2019, almost six times more individuals were developing their digital skills than their basic skills (1.8 % and 0.3 % respectively), while in Malta this proportion was respectively 0.4 % and 0.2 %. Besides contributing to the ‘Next generation policies’ pillar, this indicator also supports digital transformation and social and territorial cohesion.
