"‘Education, education, and education’. This was the answer Tony Blair famously gave when asked what his areas of priority were. At a time when public purse strings are being increasingly tightened, many higher education institutions across Europe are feeling the pinch. Education – and higher education in particular – is a crucial long-term investment if Europe is to reach the targets set by the 2020 strategy in the area of smart growth. Cuts in education should be avoided, where possible, as they will ultimately set us back further. The target of spending 2% of GDP on education should be maintained by all Member States. Taking into account the prevailing economic conditions, the loans facility proposed in the Erasmus for All programme for masters students wishing to study in another EU country is particularly welcome. Not only will this provide much needed financial support to students; it will also promote mobility, which is a key component in achieving a true European Area of Higher Education. I fully endorse Mr Tőkés’s report and call on the Member States to implement its recommendations."@en1
