Izvještaj EK također je pokazao da je došlo do nedostatnog napretka u ostvarivanju referentne tačke po kojoj se zahtijeva da najmanje 85% 22-togodišnjaka u EU treba imati do 2010. završeno najmanje više srednje obrazovanje.
The EC report also showed that there has been insufficient progress towards achievement of the benchmark, requiring that at least 85% of 22-year-olds in the EU should have completed at least upper secondary education by 2010.
