Professors are often not able to prepare their students in excellent studies for the needs of the today's job-market. Doris Pack, MEP and rapporteur for the Life Long Learning Programme emphasized this in her closure remarks at the Public Hearing. (c) EPP-ED TV at YouTube.com |

 Referendum in Hungary On this 9th of March, the greatest political event of the last two years took place in Hungary. After the elections in 2006 (which the left-wing coalition of the post-communist Hungarian Socialist Party and the liberal Alliance of Free Democrats won by conceiling the truth about the economic state of the country, deceiving both the EU Commission and the Hungarian Parliament), the politics of the Hungarian government took a drastic 180-degree turn. |

On the occasion of the hearing in the European Parliament, Doris Pack MEP, EPP-ED Spokeswoman for the Committee on Culture and Education, stated that the Bologna Process, the aim of which is to create a European area of higher education by 2010, needs to go on unambiguously with a European character. It requires one European accreditation system and not 27 small national individual systems.
"We need to clear out the study plans in order to enable students to accomplish their Bachelor degree within the timeframe of three to four years and furthermore, to offer them the necessary time to study abroad. It is indispensable to impart to students, in addition to the accumulated knowledge, one of the key competencies, namely 'Learn to Learn'. To achieve this, we need to have university professors who are not only good researchers but first of all qualified pedagogues."
If, for example, the German Excellence Initiative honours its universities for their research projects, then it would be of equal importance to distinguish the universities with especially good teaching and learning results.
Universities like Maastricht and Luxembourg which maintain good contacts in economic circles, are lighthouses for decent ongoing cooperation projects that furthermore create new employment possibilities", concluded Doris Pack.
