Not familiar with specifically that, but seem to be part of general trend, project, plan to
"improve, reform education", both basic and higher within EU.
Its been appr 20 years since the latest "major" reforms, in 1980-90 and 1960-70.
Note that "higher education" is now "free" within EU, both in terms of tuition fees and location.
(conflict local tax payed, subsidized, student loan guarantees,etc, that is, where one then "pays back"
the "free" education through higher productivity, income and taxes)

Finland is kind of a "case", finland going from 60-70% of population in (subexistence) agriculture at
start, middle of 1900, to the present level of "skilled labor" (much due to the open mass market of EU,
compared to what it was before, to look at "it" from the market-business-cashflow view)
