چکیده
In all the meetings of the EMSEducational Committee, updated reports are presented by the participants on the current situation related to mathematics education in their countries. Although these reports express the members’ personal opinions and do not necessarily reflect national institutional views, they address important issues that provide an initial comparative picture of mathematics education in Europe. The countries that are represented in the reports are Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Russia and Spain. In this short paper, the discussion will be around four main aspects that have been addressed in most reports concerning: the overall educational and social matters that have an effect on mathematics education in different educational levels; the curriculum, and the teacher education and professional development. Finally the role of local associations, research groups and national projects is also a factor that seems to influence mathematics education at the levels of both research and practice.
