lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Union’s earlier education programmes are success stories because they are programmes on a human scale. The e-Learning programme now under discussion will hopefully extend that series of success stories. The general aim of the programme is to improve the quality and accessibility of education and training systems by means of information and communication technologies. I hope that teachers and learners will have a major role to play in achieving this aim. If we succeed in this we will also be more likely to realise the programme’s aims. The e-Learning programme is a good example of how pilot projects can claim a place in European Union policy. Back in 2001 the European Parliament began to support the initiative to promote e-learning and now we hold in our hands a proposal for a five-year action programme. Although we have not managed to increase the programme’s budget to the level we wanted exactly, the rapporteur, Mario Mauro, can be very pleased with the work he has done. The main focus of the e-Learning programme will be the e-twinning of schools. If networking between twinned schools truly gets under way, schoolchildren in different parts of the EU can get to know other pupils of the same age and learn about their everyday lives. If it is successful in this way, the programme could reinforce the idea of EU citizenship. E-learning offers new pedagogical models for teaching and learning. According to a study by the European Schoolnet, the development of interschool learning environments is flourishing in Europe. Commercial learning environments are used by just one in three users of virtual education. It is very important that these individual endeavours are made visible and available for others to make use of. The e-Learning programme does not give direct support to this, but hopefully in future we can also invest in the development of content."@en1
