"In the current economic crisis, governments are tending to focus their attention on controlling spending, particularly in the Member States where austerity measures have been leading to cuts in education and vocational training budgets. I voted for this own-initiative report because I believe that the yearned-for long-term economic growth in the EU will have to focus on education/training and lifelong learning, the knowledge economy, research and development, and policies of active inclusion. As the rapporteur mentions, particular attention will also have to be given to the informal/non-formal vehicles that emerge inside or parallel to the formal education/training system. At times of crisis, young people – the most irreverent, creative and vulnerable to unemployment – have a major role to play in this knowledge economy, which should be stimulated and incentivised by all means necessary. The issues tackled in this report represent genuine challenges for a contemporary society increasingly committed to combating poverty, to inclusion and to social cohesion. That is why what is often called an ‘expense’ should rather be seen as a ‘smart investment’ in policies in line with the real education/training needs of society and a knowledge economy."@en1
