In line with the general objective of the Erasmus+ programme and in particular with the objectives of the Strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training (ET 2020), as well as in support of the sustainable development of third countries in the field of higher education, this appropriation is intended to pursue the following specific objectives in the field of education and training: — to improve the level of key competences and skills with particular regard to their relevance for the labour market and contribution to a cohesive society, notably through increased opportunities for learning mobility and strengthened cooperation between the world of education and training and the world of work, — to foster quality improvements, innovation excellence and internationalisation at the level of education and training institutions, notably through enhanced transnational cooperation between education and training providers and other stakeholders, — to promote the emergence and raise awareness of a European lifelong learning area, to complement policy reforms at national level and to support the modernisation of education and training systems, notably through enhanced policy cooperation, better use of Union transparency and recognition tools and the dissemination of good practices, — to enhance the international dimension of education and training, notably through cooperation between Union and third country institutions in the field of vocational education and training (VET) and in higher education, by increasing the attractiveness of European higher education institutions and supporting the Union’s external action, including its development objectives, through the promotion of mobility and cooperation between the Union and third country higher education institutions and targeted capacity building in third countries, — to improve the teaching and learning of languages and to promote the Union’s broad linguistic diversity and intercultural awareness, including minority and endangered languages, — to support free, high-quality public education in such a way as to guarantee that no pupil is denied access to or forced to break off any level of education on economic grounds, with particular attention being paid to the first years of schooling, with a view to preventing early school-leaving and ensuring that children from the least-favoured sections of society can be fully integrated.L 284/42 EN Official Journal of the European Union 5.11.2019 COMMISSION (cont'd) 150201 (cont'd) 15020101 (cont'd) The contributions
