".
We welcome the fact that the rapporteur acknowledges the continuing great disparity in the performance of education systems in the different Member States, as referred to in the Project for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003 report; this in spite of all the Community initiatives intended to promote greater equality.
We also agree that precedence must be given to promoting the teaching and learning of languages and cultural diversity in education and training.
That being said, we still have a number of objections to the content of the Commission’s proposal, and although the report seeks to alleviate the problems, it fails to provide an effective response. Rather, it retains a tendency to favour the neoliberal policies that are increasingly being felt in the area of education and training.
The proposal is to set up an integrated programme for 2007/2013, subdivided into six separate sub-programmes (Comenius, Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Grundtvig, Transversal and Jean Monnet), the overall budget for which falls short of what is required, in light of the scope and the range of situations covered. As such, even with the modest increases in grants, young people and other people on low incomes are still unable to take part."@en1
