The Education, Youth, Culture and Sport Council discusses issues of the quality of education and vocational education and training, youth activity and public health; it also submits proposals for the improved interaction of national education systems when providing for an environment favourable to economic growth, human health and cultural development. The Council discusses, and together with the European Parliament approves programmes that seek to share and improve European cultural and historical heritage, use cultural and audiovisual measures to increase the creativity and literacy of citizens, promote the mobility of students, teachers and lecturers, to improve the cooperation of education systems with business, and to ensure the earlier involvement of youth in the labour market.
