"Mr President, as a former educationalist myself, I could speak all night on this, but I do not have much time. I must say this is perhaps one of the best-thought-out proposals we have had before the European Parliament. I compliment the rapporteur and the Commission on the challenges it poses for the third-level institutes, particularly to meet the 2020 target of 40% students going on to third level and getting a qualification. It points out the challenges.
I suppose the main challenge is to link with the labour market, because that is going to be essential if we are going to be competitive on the world stage. It points out some things we need to do. One point with which I agree completely is that the gender equity situation is appalling for institutes that regard themselves as perhaps the most broadminded in the world. The emphasis on sport is very important, as is the potential in Erasmus.
The final point I would like to make is that we should stop talking about professors and lecturers at third level. They should see themselves as teachers. If they teach, students will learn and then the economy will benefit."@en1
