"Mr President, Commissioner, the proposal concerns professional training at various levels, depending on intelligence, motivation, interests and market needs. Common labour standards require the harmonisation of training models from Spain to Romania.
I would like to stress that, in promoting university education, we should not undermine vocational education at a lower level – at lower or upper secondary level. One does not need a degree to be a waiter; sometimes even a short course will suffice. In recent times, in countries such as Poland, this kind of training has been cut back. As a teacher, I would like to say that I would support, as far as is possible, flexible educational programmes tailored to the needs of the students, with an emphasis on foreign language skills, so that everyone will be able to cope in a foreign country.
Finally, Commissioner, I would like to state that investment in education is one of the best investments in Europe. Let us not stint on education. Let us not begrudge future generations this funding."@en1
