"I support this report, which warns Member States about the disastrous social and economic consequences of early school leaving in the EU. The crisis puts the future of young people at serious risk. Youth unemployment has risen from 15.5% in 2008 to 22.5% in 2012, while the percentage of young people between the ages of 15 and 24 who are not working, studying or training has risen by two points. In 2010, 53% of the young people who had left school early were unemployed. We are asking the Member States to target a total investment of at least 2% of GDP in higher education and 3% in research. Moreover, by 2020, Europe must increase to 40% the number of young people with a university education and reduce early school leaving to below 10%. This investment in education and training is absolutely crucial if the European Union is to be able to compete with the new global economic powers."@en1
