"Today in Strasbourg, the plenary of Parliament welcomed Mr Tőkés’s report on modernising Europe’s higher education systems.
The topic is important given that, while highly skilled workers will be needed in 35% of all jobs in Europe by 2020, currently, only 26% of the workforce has high-level qualifications.
The challenges that higher education institutions must overcome, such as ensuring that the skills taught are truly relevant to the realities of the labour market, and becoming engaged with external partners (such as regional and local councils, communities and businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises) in order to promote social, cultural and economic development in their regions, must therefore be supported by the EU with sufficient funding, even while societies have to deal with the current economic crisis.
We therefore need to improve the entire higher education sector if Europe wants to continue to be competitive, in cultural and productive terms, at global level."@en1
