According to the EU 2020 targets, what is the target for early school leavers?

The target for early school leavers set by the EU 2020 strategy is indeed below 10%. This goal aims to reduce the rate of young individuals leaving school without completing their basic education, which is critical for ensuring higher levels of educational attainment, better employment opportunities, and overall social inclusion. The focus on reducing early school leaving is part of a broader initiative to improve educational standards, foster economic growth, and increase competitiveness within EU member states. The target encourages member countries to implement policies and programs that support students at risk of dropping out, improving retention rates, and ultimately enhancing the quality of education within the EU.
