The report calls for the modernisation of higher education systems. It shows that more than one third of the population should have a university-level qualification by 2020. In the report, the author makes an incorrect reference to ‘high level qualifications’. In my experience, there is a very loose connection between a college degree and high level qualifications. It is correctly said that Member States are responsible for higher education, despite which there have been repeated attempts over the years to declare certain types of higher education to be the best. A typical example of the failure of such attempts is the large-scale churning out of ‘practically oriented’ bachelor degrees under the Bologna Declaration. Most university lecturers - particularly from technical fields where there is a real need for sound expertise, and where the results of studies are relatively easy to compare between individual institutions - agree that bachelor level university studies should form the theoretical basis for further engineering or masters studies. Student loans are not considered a real support or an improvement in study conditions, either at home or abroad. They are an attempt to restrict, using social censorship, the possibility of studying for students from low-income families, and instead to support the richest in making a start in life after studies. The reference to lifelong learning looks very artificial. I would therefore like to express my profound discomfort over this report."@en1
