The European Federation of Education Employers (EFEE) is sharing its contribution to the European Commission’s upcoming Gender Equality Strategy 2026–2030.

This paper outlines EFEE’s support for a dual approach that combines targeted actions and gender mainstreaming across EU policies. Key themes include:

  • Promoting quality and inclusive education to challenge stereotypes and ensure equal opportunities for all.
  • Addressing gender imbalances in education leadership, STEM fields, and care-related professions.
  • Supporting work-life balance through flexible arrangements, childcare access, and parental leave.
  • Tackling gender-based violence and harassment, including third-party violence, with strong policies and training.
  • Advancing digital literacy and inclusive curricula to empower the next generation in a gender-equal environment.
  • Improving data collection and evidence-based policymaking to track progress and impact.
