🇪🇺🇮🇪 Good first exchange at EYCS with @lawlessj, Irish Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. We discussed the priorities of the Irish upcoming presidency as well as the role of education for our democracy and Preparedness of our Union. We need to adapt our investment in education and skills policies. Also, we need to have a strong alignment on the upcoming Education Package, tackling the digital transformation and strengthening AI literacy across Europe.
