Ministerrådet har nyligen fattat beslut om ett ramverk för samarbetet (som är frivilligt) kring utbildning inom unionen - som gäller för den närmaste 10-årsperioden. Den refererade rekommendationen pekar tillsammasn med formuleringen i parentesen ovan tydligt ut ICT och den digitala kompetensen som viktiga beståndsdelar. Synd att de inte utvecklat benchmarking för det området också men det sysslar ju i och för sig OECD med.
