"The EU’s multiannual financial framework provides for the biggest percentage increase under the EU’s long-term budget for education and related sectors. Yet Member States are unfortunately making cuts to the budget of education and training due to the present economic situation. This jeopardises our goals for establishing a knowledge-based economy. Only with sufficient state funding can education and training policies ensure non-discriminatory access to education for everyone, irrespective of social or economic status, race or political affiliation. Financial austerity measures hinder the entry of socially disadvantaged students to secondary or university education. I agree that the effectiveness of schemes offering financial support to these students to allow them to continue their studies should be assessed. Unless Member States take measures in the interest of early school leavers who give up education and training, early school leaving could have dire consequences. This issue must be urgently addressed, because their lack of qualifications makes these people the least able to succeed on the labour market. The negative impact of the crisis is also noticeable in the employment rate of young people and, as a result, new graduates are often unable to find employment corresponding to their qualifications. Vocational education and training must therefore be given special priority in higher education. Better and more targeted information and career orientation is needed, in line with the demands of the labour market."@en1
