"I would like to thank the President-in-Office for his reply. It was a very comprehensive reply indeed, but one of the issues I have discovered, over almost thirty years of involvement in development, is the lack of emphasis on education.
The reason I put this question to the Council was to try and establish whether the Council and the European Union can put more emphasis on education, because in developing countries if you have the three basics - reading, writing and arithmetic - even at the simplest level, you can challenge the village elders and the leaders in your community. When you are illiterate that is impossible.
The purpose of my putting this question was to shift the emphasis, because poverty cannot be tackled through a continuation of the same old formula. I believe that 'education, education, education' is the real answer to poverty. That is where the emphasis should be."@en1
