Descripción
Sumario:Erasmus+ fosters the creation of a common education framework for the European Union. The mathematical tools proposed by the present research can be used to evaluate equity in all the of the Erasmus+ key actions, comparing the equity in the funds’ distribution between the countries participating in the Erasmus+ programme and its evolution over time. The text analyses the distribution of Erasmus+ KA102 VET funds and evaluates if this distribution is being done fairly, with equity. This analysis has been done with mathematical tools proposed by the author that provide information from three different perspectives: the impact of the funds on the students (Students with a Fair Access to Funds – SFAF), the regions NUTS1/NUTS2 (Regional Mobility Efficiency-RME) and the nations (National Equity – NE). The countries studied in the current research are France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. These five countries contain more than half of all the vocational education and training students in the European Union. Also, these countries had the most students participating in mobilities during the previous Leonardo da Vinci programme. Hence, it is possible to consider that the conclusions of the current research offer a significant image of the situation of VET mobilities in Europe
