"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the issue we are debating is one of fundamental importance to a great many Members of this House. If we wish to achieve the goals set out in the Lisbon Strategy, or in other words the sustainable growth of a knowledge-based economy, more and better jobs, greater social cohesion and equal opportunities, we cannot afford to neglect one of the key factors in meeting these goals, namely human resources. Investment in education never goes to waste. My professional experience has shown me that good professional teachers are the main prerequisite for good teaching. In order to ensure that such teachers can hold their own in a knowledge-based society, they too must be provided with opportunities to undertake further education, above all in the field of information technology. Lifelong learning plays a key role in education, which is about much more than just schools. In order to achieve the Lisbon goals, it is essential that national strategies for lifelong learning and vocational training be drawn up, and that national reforms be placed in a European context. Adequate sources of funding must be made available in order to ensure that the majority of these demands can be met, and I should therefore like to add my voice to the calls for the EU to guarantee sufficient funding to cover the relevant costs. All EU Member States must continue to have access to the European Social Fund after 2006. Comparisons of individual education systems have revealed a great many astonishing findings. It would therefore be highly desirable to create further indicators in key areas or in areas that have lacked such indicators to date, such as languages, information and communication technologies, the effectiveness of investment and adult education. This would allow the performance and progress of individual education systems to be assessed. I should like to thank the rapporteur."@en1
