Summary/Abstract: Based on empirical data from the PISA 2022, Education and Training Monitor 2024, State of the Digital Decade 2024 and Eurostat 2024 initiatives, the main challenges facing the management of the quality of school education in the European Union are analyzed. A comparative analysis was carried out between five countries – Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany and Bulgaria, based on key indicators. The results show that high achievements in reading literacy correlate with effective management of human capital and targeted policies for digitalization and professional development. At the same time, there are structural problems, such as the aging of the teaching staff and socio-economic inequalities across countries and regions, which hinder the achievement of sustainable quality of school education in some countries of the European Union.
