The MEP could have noted that Croatia's 2.0% rate is the lowest in the entire EU, with the EU average being 9.4% in 2024. The full Eurostat data for 2024 was published in May 2025, which is after the session date of February 2026 (the MEP would have had access to this data). The official term is 'early leavers from education and training' which refers to persons aged 18-24 who have completed at most lower secondary education and are not in further education or training.
