Trade Union Calls for More Commitment to European Education Area
Berlin, November 4, 2024 (hib) – The Education and Science Union (GEW) has called for more commitment to the European Education Area. At the 6th National Education and Science Forum of the SPD parliamentary group in the German Bundestag, GEW chair Maike Finnern stressed that the European Union must invest more in education and contribute to improving educational opportunities for all young people.
The European Education Area is a political initiative of the European Union that aims to create a common European higher education and research area by 2025. The goal is to promote mobility, cooperation, and excellence in education and research across Europe.
Finnern criticized the fact that the European Union is currently far from achieving this goal. She said that there are still too many barriers to mobility for students and researchers, and that the recognition of qualifications is often difficult.
“We need more financial resources for education and research in Europe,” Finnern said. “We also need to strengthen cooperation between universities and research institutions across Europe.”
She called on the German government to play a leading role in promoting the European Education Area. She said that Germany should provide more funding for European educational programs and support initiatives to promote mobility and cooperation.
The National Education and Science Forum of the SPD parliamentary group is a platform for dialogue between politicians, scientists, and representatives from the education and research sector. The forum provides an opportunity to discuss current issues in education and research and to develop policy recommendations.
