"High school dropout rates have considerable socio-economic consequences, for which reason the Europe 2020 strategy includes a plan to reduce this rate to 10%. Studies have shown that there are clear characteristics for those who tend not to finish their school careers. We can thus see, for example, that fewer girls (13%) than boys (17%) drop out. In addition, we can observe that children from families in which the level of education is lower are much more likely to drop out. Migrants, too, have a higher dropout rate. Nevertheless, a one-size-fits-all approach to this phenomenon is not appropriate and it certainly cannot be isolated from external influences such as poverty or abuse. It is demonstrable that early school leavers are considerably more likely to face the threat of poverty, which is due, amongst other things, to their lack of education and the associated limited access to the labour market for such people. I am voting against this report as I believe that education and schooling are issues for the nation states, issues for which there are individual solutions in each Member State."@en1
