"High early school leaving rates have serious socio-economic consequences: school drop-out levels impact negatively on economic development and also threaten economic and social stability. It is assumed that if we succeed in reducing the early school leaving rates by just 1% per year across Europe, this could mean we would have an additional 500Â 000 well-qualified young people available to the workforce. The demographic development of Europe means that it will be particularly important to integrate as many competent young people into the workforce as possible, so that they will not be forced to migrate. I do not believe that the measures proposed in the report will have the desired effect, however. The rapporteur suggests that traditional examinations should be abolished because grades depend on performance on a particular day. I believe that conventional testing techniques are important, however, because in their subsequent professional and social spheres, young people need to be able to perform when the situation demands it. I cannot accept the methods adopted by the rapporteur, for which reason I voted against this report."@en1
