"One of the headline targets of the Europe 2020 strategy is to reduce the rate of early school leaving (ESL) to 10% by 2020. Unfortunately, this is still a very real problem for many Member States, including my own, and, in 2009, average ESL for 18 to 24-year olds in Europe stood at around 14.4%. I voted for the report whilst acknowledging the difficulty of identifying suitable policies, a problem resulting from the fact that there are no standard predictors to identify those most at risk. However, there are some social groups, identifiable by certain factors (low income, poverty, social context and family background) which need more help. Therefore, I agree with the rapporteur that there is a need to introduce effective policies, with a personalised approach, and to create solutions for reintegrating people back into the education system through ‘second chance’ schools, for example. Success in this area would have important social and economic repercussions and directly affect growth and economic stability. Reducing ESL in Europe by just one percentage point would mean almost half a million young people receiving educational qualifications every year."@en1
