"I voted for the report on modernising Europe’s higher education systems because this modernisation should enable university graduates to find a job matching their studies. Nowadays, 21% of young people in the EU are unemployed and most university graduates face difficulties in finding employment. I believe Member States should invest at least 6% of GDP in education. We call for the EU budget for 2014-2020 under the European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund to include spending on higher education related to investments in university infrastructure and academic staff. I do not approve of paragraph 5, which requires Member States to support higher education institutions serving traditional national, ethnic or linguistic minorities. I believe university autonomy is a fundamental concept that any democratic country respects, and a guarantee for preserving the cultural and scientific heritage of any country and ensuring conditions for development by stimulating higher education, research and innovation. Member States should make every effort to ensure that higher education is widely accessible, that it adapts to new challenges by creating new fields of study that reflect the needs of the labour market, and that it takes into account the development of science and technology."@en1
