"I endorsed the report on modernising Europe’s higher education systems. I did so for several reasons. Firstly, modernisation of higher education systems is a very important matter. Secondly, the report is balanced, comprehensive and well founded. Thirdly, I am a lecturer at the Poznań School of Humanities and Journalism, which means I am very familiar with the realities, challenges and needs of higher education in Europe. Formal limitations on the length of my statement prevent me from listing all the strong points of the report. I will mention only a few. I agree with the proposition that ‘the quality and relevance of higher education are a core condition for taking advantage of Europe’s intellectual capital’. This is precisely why it is necessary to take a series of steps which will allow us to use the potential of our universities. The Member States as well as the European Union should support these measures. The call for institutions of higher education to adapt to new challenges is important. They can do this by creating new fields of study that reflect the needs of the labour market. They should also take into account the development of science and technology by maintaining an appropriate balance between theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Another important task is raising the quality of education and promoting the mutual recognition of qualifications. I support the plea contained in the report which urges ‘all EU countries to implement the national qualification frameworks linked to the European Higher Education Area Qualifications Framework and to develop, and provide financial support for, mutual recognition’."@en1
