lpv:translated text	"Mr President, access to education is a fundamental human right, but unfortunately it often amounts to little more than empty words. Both sexes have similar opportunities to acquire higher education, and female graduates actually outnumber their male counterparts. However, there are significantly fewer women than men at the higher levels of academic careers. Women represent only 43% of doctoral graduates and barely 15% of university professors. It is harder for women to continue in education because of their limited opportunities to access lifelong learning, and also because of their domestic commitments. The Member States should put in place a flexible adult education policy, especially in terms of adjusting course programmes to suit the needs of women on maternity leave. It is also essential to take advantage of new technologies in the field of education in order to meet women’s needs. One example would be using the Internet to facilitate distance learning. In addition to this, it is important to undertake a policy assessment concerning equal access to education, on the basis of statistical data including gender breakdown. This would help to resolve the problem of continuing inequalities as regards gaining qualifications, especially in higher and adult education. In addition, the European Commission and the Member States should try to combat popular stereotypes that cause women to be discriminated against in the workplace. In particular, it should be made easier for women to gain access to decision-making roles in economic, political and scientific fields. In conclusion, I should like to thank Mrs Flasarova, the rapporteur, for a well-prepared document."@en1
