"I supported this report in plenary because it tackles a real scourge, which mostly affects young people who are already in a precarious situation. It cannot be denied that early school leaving is often linked to poverty and social exclusion. If we combat one, we therefore combat the others. This report puts forward simple guidelines: early identification, increased support and a personalised approach. These solutions are well known, but very few Member States today have the will to implement them as a priority. The fact is that if we enable more young people to take full advantage of their education, it will raise the overall skills level and therefore increase employment opportunities. One final word on reading: the proportion of young people aged 15 who have reading difficulties has reached 24.1% in the Member States. If we have to choose a point of attack, that is it. In my view, reading is the key to all forms of knowledge, and it cannot be dispensed with. We need to ensure that all young people, whether they reach the end of the school system or leave early, have that key in their pocket."@en1
