exceeded their 2020 national target for this indicator, the others
being the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Slovenia, Finland and
Sweden.
The Europe 2020 Strategy sets a number of headline targets,
including one for tertiary education, namely that by the year 2020 the
proportion of 30–34 year-olds with tertiary educational attainment
should be at least 40 %. In 2017, 39.9 % of the population aged 30–34 in
the EU-28 had completed tertiary education.
In 2017, the share of persons aged 30 to 34 who have completed
tertiary education was higher for women than men in all Member States.
Also, with almost 50%, Cyprus also had the highest percentage for
