SHORT DESCRIPTION Reducing dropout in higher education as a headline target of Europe 2020. Success in higher education is vital for jobs, social justice and economic growth and therefore highly qualified professionals are indispensable for each society. As one of its headline targets the European Union's strategy for jobs and growth, Europe 2020, proposes to lead at least 40% of the younger generation to a third level education (European Commission, 2010). Additionally, in Europe 2020 as well as in other strategy papers such as the EU-Strategy for the modernizing of higher education, the Commission claims to reduce the number of dropouts in higher education (European Commission, 2011).
