"I voted against the European Schools, which were created using taxpayers’ money for children of EU officials. I cannot understand why these children are being educated in a system that, on one hand, is luxuriant and, on another, equips them with a baccalaureate that is not widely recognised elsewhere, rather than following the education systems in their own countries. I do not think it is correct to bring the next generation up with a wholly one-sided view of the European Union, when nobody under the age of 54 has had the opportunity to vote for or against UK membership. When I read about a request to national states to promote the inclusion of a specific subject on the background, goals and functioning of the European Union and its institutions, to encourage young people to feel more involved in the process of European integration, I was extremely disturbed. I also strongly oppose the fact that these schools will be protected from austerity measures when school children in Wales are watching schools close and merge and are being educated in dilapidated buildings with overcrowding in classrooms while the children of privileged Eurocrats are given better resources and opportunities."@en1
