"The austerity measures and resulting budget cuts that have been affecting the education and training systems throughout the EU could have negative effects in terms of the economic growth we need so badly to get us out of the current crisis. It is a priority that this growth be based on education, on knowledge and on suitable social policies. The economic costs of failing school, including dropping out, the social inequalities in the education and training system, and their impact on growth in the Member States, are significantly higher than the costs of the financial crisis. We cannot forget young people, who are being severely penalised by the effects of the crisis: they will have to play a key role in achieving the main Europe 2020 strategy targets as regards employment, research and innovation, the climate and energy, education, and combating poverty. It is essential that the Member States re-evaluate and improve their education and training policies and that they adopt specific measures for young people at risk. It is also imperative to strengthen EU-level youth policy, and it falls to the Commission to make available the necessary support – including financial support – for developing values, aptitudes and skills in the fields of education, youth and citizenship."@en1
