"It is an unfortunate fact that in most Member States even people with higher education qualifications are having an increasingly difficult time finding employment, and I therefore consider it important to modernise higher education systems and implement reforms. The economic crisis has resulted in major budgetary cuts in education, despite the fact that it is primarily vocational training and higher education that are in need of modernisation in order to combat the crisis. It is this area where there is the greatest need for a reform programme in order to be able to keep pace with the new demands of a rapidly changing labour market and organisation of work. We must be able to give up-to-date responses to challenges. Therefore, sustainable higher education must continue to be based on state investments, thus providing as many people as possible with access to higher education. The establishment of new lines of study must reflect the labour market demands of the various countries. This can only be ensured through research, surveys, and continuous and mutual cooperation with corporations. The number of European students graduating abroad is continuously rising, but there are unfortunately still problems in respect of the mutual recognition of degrees, which also presents a disadvantage in terms of employment. I agree that Member States should reinforce cooperation between their competent ministries in the field of higher education with a view to ensuring the mutual recognition of degrees and qualifications and improving their harmonisation."@en1
