On 2 December 2020 the Committee on Culture and Education held a public hearing on "The education package: aims, challenges and prospects for success". The hearing represented an opportunity for the CULT Committee to engage with stakeholders and experts in dissecting the 'education package' published by the Commission on 30 September.

The hearing will feed into two reports the committee is currently working on, which deal with the two strands of the 'education package' - 'Shaping Digital Education Policy', which examines the extent to which the revised Digital Education Action Plan responds to the digital education policy needs, and 'The European Education Area: a shared holistic approach to education, skills and competences'. The hearing was organised in three panels dealing with the first setting the scene of the education package and the other two dealing with the specific strands of the Digital Education Action Plan and the European Education Area.
