Eurostat has published the 2015 update of the education indicators within the EU's 'Zaragoza' Indicators on Migrant Integration. The main findings are:
- The foreign-born population had a higher level of education than the native-born population in several EU Member States (Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, Malta, Denmark, Ireland)
- At EU level, participation in lifelong learning is higher among the foreign population, both non-EU-born and EU-born, than among the native-born (most notably in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Portugal and the UK)
- 35.5 % of the 25–54 year old non-EU-born population has completed at most lower secondary education
- The share of non-EU-born early-leavers in 2015 was almost twice the rate of the native-born (EU average 19.8 % vs. 10.1 %), although this rate has been constantly decreasing since 2008
- The share of native-born young people aged 15-29 not in employment, education or training (NEET) was 14% in 2015 and significantly higher among the foreign-born, in particularly the non-EU-born (24.4 % in 2015)
