"Only 75 of the top 200 universities in the world are in the EU and only 26% of its workforce has higher-level qualifications. I am voting for this report because I believe there is a need to reinforce higher education institutions’ role as a key carrier of countries’ development. The entities of the Portuguese National Scientific and Technological System (SCTN) should increasingly invest in developing activities of scientific excellence, foster entrepreneurship, adapt academic education to the labour market, and boost programmes enabling increased international mobility whilst studying or working. I also believe it is urgent to set out a European system for mutual recognition of the qualifications acquired. Finally, I believe young people should have equal opportunities to access high-quality education and training; it is crucial that the Member States consider education the main investment in their nations’ future. As such, I argue that higher education spending relating to investment in university infrastructure and in people should be included in the EU budget for the period 2014-2020, in order to hit the target of investing 3% of GDP."@en1
