"Every two years, the education ministers and the European Commission publish a joint report on the overall situation in education and training across the EU. The report summarises the actions and developments during the first 2009-2011 cycle and confirms the need to increase efforts towards achieving the targets set by the Europe 2020 strategy, particularly as regards reducing the school drop-out rate, towards increased support for higher education in a context of lifelong learning, and towards increasing transnational mobility for acquiring new skills. Although the report makes some excellent suggestions, some key areas have not been properly tackled. Specifically, there is a need to improve foreign language teaching in schools, to invest in education, even in an unstable economic environment, to reinforce the importance of adult education and informal education, and to increase investment in pre-school education. The report also suggests the possibility of awarding grants at the pre-university education stage. I voted for this report because I think it highlights key issues that should be evaluated and which will better contribute to achieving the Europe 2020 strategy targets."@en1
