"Question No 47 by Maria Badia I Cutchet () I should like to refer to the Commission’s plan to foster entrepreneurship via education, from primary school to university. In its plan, the Commission refers to the need for increased economic growth and more entrepreneurship in order to keep the European social model going at a satisfactory level. I fully agree that these are needed. I am concerned, however, about the risk of education playing second fiddle to the logic of competition and the market. I believe it is vital for the European social model and for individual advancement that education should aim to ensure that citizens are free, independent and discerning. There are several examples of good practice from which we can no doubt learn a lot – such as increasing the amount of work experience schemes – and I do not wish to detract from business-related studies, but a North-American-style education with too much focus on business cannot be our reference model. Does the Commission not think that, in the interests of the future of education as a pillar of citizenship, we should be focusing our efforts on revising educational curricula in the Member States in order to improve education in all areas, including culture and the humanities?"@en1
