"Twenty-nine countries signed the Bologna Declaration on 29 June 1999. They therefore committed to work together to create, by 2010, a European Higher Education Area that would enable convergence among the European education systems, thus increasing the employability and mobility of EU citizens, and to promote European higher education across the world.
I am completely in favour of the text that we voted on in plenary this morning, but I would like to emphasise in particular that the Member States’ commitment to provide greater funding for higher education by increasing public investment could help combat the economic crisis and encourage growth based on enhancing knowledge. This increased national commitment to funding should also be accompanied by an effective, bottom-up approach, fully involving all key actors such as universities, trade unions, professional organisations, research institutions and the business sector.
Lastly, I feel I must stress that measures to promote employability, such as lifelong learning, are absolutely necessary for achieving more effective cooperation between universities and the labour market with a view to developing more relevant curricula. This may also help ensure the availability of a sufficient number of traineeships for students, so as to further facilitate their joining the job market. These initiatives must therefore be seen as a priority."@en1
