This report confirms a number of the objections that we have made, namely:
the failure of the European project in its attempts at achieving the highest standards of education and the failure of the education system in various countries;
the productivity crisis in the current economic and social fabric, which is reflected in employment and in inappropriate performance-related pressure in the education system.
It does put forward some welcome measures, such as to ‘ensure a 15% increase in the number of science graduates between now and 2010’, which Portugal would do well to take on board.
It also calls on the Member States to ‘increase the number of teachers and to put in place initial and continuous teacher training of quality’, which is a welcome measure.
Furthermore, it highlights the financial bottleneck in most countries, which is a significant problem, especially given the situation in Portugal.
It also stresses the need for the EU to ‘guarantee sufficient methods of funding for the new integrated action programme in the field of lifelong education and training’ and emphasises the need to ensure that the European Social Fund can continue to be available after 2006 in all Member States.
Nevertheless, it promotes the neoliberal route, as laid down in the Lisbon agenda, with all of the detrimental consequences that that entails, not least for vocational education and training.
Hence our abstention."@en1
