As a former teacher at what was known as a multicultural problem school in Antwerp, I can only welcome the rapporteur’s expression of concern about the quality of teaching in the EU.
However, it is for the individual Member States and not the EU to work out what can be done about the quality of teaching. If there is one field in which the principle of subsidiarity and respect for the diversity of the various cultures must hold, then that is most certainly education. Education does not have to be multicultural as stated in this report; it only has to be of good quality. In my experience in Flanders, for example, I have seen all too often that it is the multicultural ‘concentration schools’ – those with a high proportion of migrant children – that bring quality down. Ideological blinkers are not the way to remedy this.
I therefore voted wholeheartedly against this report."@en1
