"As part of the anti-grassroots policy of the Lisbon Strategy, the EU is using the Erasmus Mundus programme (2009-2013) for the bourgeois modernisation of universities in the Member States, in accordance with the demands of capital, so as to cause a ‘brain drain’ from third countries and step up the exploitation of workers, thereby increasing the profitability of European monopolies.
It reinforces private economic criteria for evaluating universities and research centres and places state and private institutes of education on an equal footing. It creates education ‘consortia’ on the basis of the ‘objective of excellence’ and imposes tuition fees on students, thereby essentially excluding children from working class families from higher education and post-graduate studies.
The demagogic declarations by the EU about preventing a brain drain from less developed countries cannot conceal the real objective, which is none other than the woeful exploitation of manpower from those countries and drastic restrictions on the rights of young people to a high standard of free state education for every child from working class families.
For these reasons, the parliamentary group of the Greek Communist Party voted against this legislative initiative."@en1
