"I would like to raise for discussion some ideas regarding the legislative package in the Social-European agenda.
I appreciate very much the European Commission’s initiatives in this field and those presented in its communication named “Improving competencies for the 21
century – European cooperation on schools.”
In addition to these initiatives, I would like to propose to the European Commission to launch a pilot project for creating a European scholarship for children in economically and geographically disfavoured regions.
At European level, 19 million children and young people are subject to poverty and 6 million abandon high school every year. In Romania, for instance, according to a Eurobarometer study, young people in the rural environment and those in mountain or isolated regions have a 5% chance of attending higher education. This percentage is very far from the European Union’s 85% objective of young people who have access to secondary university education.
Member States lack the necessary financial means to remedy this worrying situation themselves. Consequently, the European Union should fight by any possible means, such as legislation, funds, European policies, to promote the opportunities and access of all young people to education."@en1
