Whilst recognising the fact that knowing how to read and write is a right for all, the report will be of little help in promoting a policy that can really make a difference in the fight against illiteracy.
I feel that the references made to teachers and trainers
are only useful if we safeguard a genuine recruitment policy in national education, because this is a public service remit.
There are, in effect, tens of thousands of unfilled teaching posts throughout Europe. The recent demonstrations by primary school teachers and parents in the Nantes region against the closure of classes and for the creation of jobs and a limit on class sizes are an illustration of this.
Finally, it is the damaging effects of liberal policies – unemployment and attacks against public services – that are the cause of an upsurge in illiteracy. If we are to combat illiteracy, we must also combat poverty.
However, as the report does propose a certain number of positive measures such as equal access to fundamental rights for all, non-discrimination and equal opportunities, as well as specific aid to the EU regions most affected by this by this form of social exclusion, I voted for this report."@en1
