"I voted in favour of the report on Education, Training and Europe 2020. Education and training are crucial elements in achieving the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy and ensuring the future growth of Europe. The current economic difficulties must not be used as an excuse to reduce the resources set aside for education and training. In order to guarantee the investments for the future, the Socialists proposed excluding investments in education and training from the national deficit calculation of the fiscal compact. As the report points out, dropping out of school early has a higher cost than the crisis. There is thus no point in making short-term savings that would compromise future growth. For the same reasons, we encourage the Member States to devote at least 2% of their GDP to higher education in order to ensure a knowledge-based economy. However, additional efforts are required in the area of early childhood education and schooling, which is a crucial stage in the development of our future workers and citizens."@en1
