"In 2009, the percentage of all early school leavers in Europe between the ages of 18 and 24 was 14.4%. The Member States have undertaken to reduce this to 10% by 2020. Greece has one of the highest rates of pupils leaving school immediately after primary education and almost the highest rate of young immigrants leaving school early (over 40%). This has important social and economic repercussions. They extend from social marginalisation of early school leavers and fewer job opportunities to a reduction in the country’s economic capabilities. It is estimated that reducing early school leavers throughout Europe by just 1% would increase the number of qualified young people by half a million year on year, with a commensurate contribution to the GDP of those countries. The report, which I supported, highlights these consequences, while at the same time proposing a series of actions, such as reforming the education system, extending the ‘second chance’ scheme and increasing social funds earmarked for that purpose."@en1
