The process towards an European Union seems not to have taken into
account the need for an European dimension in education until recently.
However, this dimension has been extremely reinforced by the means of
different European programmes which have been launched in the past few
years. According to this general idea, this article describes and
analyses the main phases in the generation of an European Commission's
education policy, as follows: 1957-1970, with a main concern on
economic matters; 1971-1986, first steps to a common education policy;
1986-1992, the educational programmes; and 1992-1995, review and
harmonisation of the educational programmes. Félix Etxeberría
Key words: European programmes, European Union, education policy, European dimension in Education.
