"Mr President, we have come to depend in the 21st century on what we call a knowledge based economy and the information society. However, not everyone has access to this knowledge base. The proposals on lifelong learning are an emerging response to this deficit, but only an emerging one. It is not simply a matter of training for particular job skills, although people with a low educational base face a higher risk of unemployment and such inequalities of education need to be particularly targeted in the case of both women and men.
Training cannot replace a poor education and there is considerable risk that those with a strong education base will benefit further from lifelong learning and those without it will become even further marginalised. This should be of particular concern.
The proposals are encouraging, but it is far from clear how they will be implemented and funded. Here, the rapporteur has done an excellent job in firming up rather vague proposals. This is not the fault of the Commissioner, whose commitment is not in doubt, but is due to the difficulties in coordinating education across the Member States when there is no clear European responsibility."@en1
