". This report enshrines the plan to pursue and entrench the policy of destructuring both training methods and the means of producing teaching and learning products (which now fall within the multimedia industry’s sphere of competence). This is happening in response to the so-called example gleaned from the experiences and policies of countries that have gone further along the path of privatising schools and of commercialising education. There, the companies that provide such goods and services are more experienced and have already accumulated considerable economic weight and cultural influence. This report’s support for measures that destructure modes of formal education, and in particular education, comes to the fore at various points. These measures combine with the under-funding of educational institutions to help dismantle public education systems. In addition, they pave the way for private organisations to supply informal educational methods such as distance learning, whose value as an educational qualification is meaningless, and also for the contracting of workers trained in such informal ‘education systems’. Doubts remain as to the composition of the Commission’s advisory committee, though it will, naturally, include ‘experts’, thereby circumventing governments’ representative authority. The rash of programmes such as Learning, Leonardo, Socrates, and so forth, tend to reduce the room for manoeuvre, the authority, of each Member State, each educational institution. These programmes reduce the purpose of education itself to a supporting role, or to being a means to some other end."@en1
