"I voted for the proposal on tackling early school leaving. It is a complex phenomenon and a huge challenge facing Europe. To combat this phenomenon, it is necessary to innovate and diversify the national curriculum by extending the variety of educational options open to pupils. Offering students a wider choice at school is not only important for increasing their motivation to stay on, but also for providing them with the broad spectrum of knowledge and essential skills necessary for finding employment later. Structural reforms are important for giving young people the skills and training that they need to make a smooth transition into the world of work. These include problem solving, critically evaluating information, and communicating effectively. I believe it is important to set up ‘second chance’ or ‘alternative’ schools. These must be sensitive to the needs of individuals. I would like to stress that investing more money in combating early school leaving can have the long-term effect of preventing young people from becoming dependent on social security, thus bringing down unemployment in the EU and encouraging the recruitment of new blood to replace the old."@en1
