"There is currently a tragic situation in a number of Member States as regards unemployment rates, especially amongst young people, for whom the current rate of unemployment is double the general EU rate of unemployment. This is, therefore, one of Europe’s most pressing problems. It is essential that the Member States adopt political strategies aimed at combating this problem that are based on the objectives set by the Europe 2020 strategy of reducing school drop-out rates to below 10% per year, and of enabling at least 40% of young people to complete higher education. These must be tackled with concrete, creative and effective measures.
Unfortunately, I would say that the Europe 2020 strategy’s ambitions are not visibly in harmony with the reality of budget restrictions, which have substantially cut funding for the main EU programmes in the area of education. I welcome the measures adopted by the Commission aimed at facilitating accessibility, transparency and comparability for the purposes of the recognition process within and among education systems. It is also important that the Member States start reforming their systems, and gear vocational education and training towards the true needs of the labour market."@en1
