lpv:translated text	"We quite obviously want education and training systems to benefit from Information and Communication Technologies and, in short, from everything implied by the European Learning Programme. While the European institutions set great store, however, by programmes presented as being at the forefront of progress, the education of working class children, even at elementary level, is in decline everywhere in Europe. To take only France as an example, there is an increase in illiteracy and a decline in the ability to speak correctly and to do simple arithmetic. The reasons are simple: a shortage of funds and a lack of teachers, teaching assistants and various teaching support staff. Governments prefer to shower the employers with subsidies, while reducing the social budgets, including that for state education. If high technology is perhaps making a little progress in the classroom, state education is in decline for lack of resources. For that reason, a whole generation of children and young people from working class backgrounds and environments is being deprived of the minimum of education, not even to mention an education worthy of the name and commensurate with the wealth of the continent, for, in this area as in all others, it is the working classes who pay the price for the anti-social choices of governments serving only the privileged and affluent classes."@en1
