The Monitoring Committee was established to ensure that the work of the German National Coordination Office for the European Agenda on Adult Education is aligned as closely as possible with current developments at the federal and state levels, as well as with academic research. It serves as an important advisory and coordinating body and meets twice a year.
In terms of content, the Monitoring Committee supports the Coordination Office in the forward-looking planning of its activities and strategic goals. The priority areas were also determined in consultation with the Steering Committee.
The composition of the Steering Committee is based on equal representation of representatives from academia (in the fields of adult education and continuing vocational education and training) and political representatives from the federal and state governments.
In addition to the Monitoring Committee, the advisory committees for vocational education and training and adult education are utilized to coordinate the Adult Education Agenda in Germany. To actively involve the relevant state ministries, the KMK’s Working Group on Continuing Education is also regularly informed about the work of the Adult Education Agenda.
