"This report addresses the problem of early school leaving in a comprehensive way. It does so firstly by providing some useful information for understanding the scale and persistence of the problem, and noting the failure of the goals set by the EU in this area. It goes on to identify causes and makes some concrete proposals to tackle the problem. There are several significant aspects of the report that we believe to be positive: calling attention to the higher number of instances of the problem in the most disadvantaged social groups; the unequivocal link between dropping out of education and poverty and social exclusion; the warning about the consequences of ongoing cuts in the public education system; and the impact of ineffective policies on work-life balance. However, we believe that it could and should have gone much further, particularly by denouncing the policies in place in many countries, including Portugal. The deregulation of work relations, the withdrawal of investment, the lack of state accountability and the dismantling of public services as a whole have led not only to an increase in dropping out of education, but also to the upsurge in tragic situations like child labour. We do not agree with the rapporteur about the focus placed on the increasing orientation of the educational system towards the labour market, to the detriment of the formation of the individual as a whole."@en1
