EFEE - European Federation of Education Employers

The European Federation of Education Employers (EFEE) was created in February 2009. It currently represents 28 employers’ organisations from 18 EU/EFTA countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

The education sector is crucial to progress and development across Europe. As well as encouraging the knowledge and innovation that provides the basis of our society, the education sector employs around 15 million people in the EU and represents approximately 7% of the total workforce in Europe. At European level, EFEE therefore has a crucial role to play in promoting the best interests of its members.
