"I welcome the Commission’s goal to reinforce cooperation in the field of education and training in the 2012-2014 work cycle of the ‘Education and Training 2020’ strategy in order to ensure the successful implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy. I believe that the reinforcement of the fight against early school leaving, the implementation of lifelong learning and efforts to improve transnational mobility and Europe’s skills base are all welcome steps. It is important to note, however, that in my opinion, there are areas that did not receive sufficient attention, even though their importance is undisputable. These include the issue of language learning and language skills, which are among the greatest potential barriers to finding employment anywhere within the European Union. Language skills are useful generally, but in the context of the European Union, multilingualism is a vital part of how we function. Another crucial aspect for the future of Europe is to ensure the general availability of high-quality early-childhood education, which can facilitate the achievement of two of the headline targets of the Europe 2020 strategy at once: on the one hand, it can contribute to reducing the rate of early school leavers to under 10% and, on the other, it could help at least 20 million people to rise up from being threatened by poverty and social exclusion."@en1
