"This report evaluates the process of harmonising the EU higher education system. It even recommends deepening this process, particularly by standardising educational content ‘to meet the needs of the labour market’. It advocates enhancing the European Higher Education Area and the Bologna Process, using the justification that they facilitate student mobility between the EU’s higher education institutions. What, however, happened when the Bologna Process was applied in Portugal? What happened was nothing short of making higher education the domain of the elite; distinguishing between those able or unable to access higher education, but also between those able or unable to attend the ‘second cycle’, which entails huge tuition fees. There are countless cases and reports in Portugal today of students dropping out of higher education because they cannot afford it. For these students, expressions like ‘the modernisation of higher education’ are only rhetorical concepts, with no practical application. We will continue fighting for high-quality, state-run education that is free for all. We therefore voted against this report."@en1
