"The report on modernising higher education systems was adopted this morning, without surprise and, moreover, without debate. There was just a brief presentation by the rapporteur. This report contains some positive proposals, such as the need for public investment in higher education. The EU’s response does not, however, meet the needs of those who want to undertake studies, have access to continuing training or be mobile, and who are facing ever more insurmountable difficulties. Adapting curricula solely to the needs of the labour market, strengthening cooperation with the ‘business world’, and researching ‘innovative alternative funding mechanisms’ (which are often private). This report goes as far as to welcome the Commission’s initiative to establish a European-level loan guarantee facility for Masters students within the new ‘Erasmus for All’ programme. Replacing bursaries with student loans, leaving financial institutions free to define the conditions for granting these loans, can only compromise not just the right to free movement but, above all, equal access to education for all."@en1
