PROPOSALS

A COMMON EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Problem:

As the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results reflect, there are huge educational differences between the State Members of the European Union. While some countries have really good results others are under the average. One of the most unevenness subjects is English.

Hypothesis:

Introduce a common educational system which promotes the EU values to give the European students the same opportunities to develop their minds. What we cannot allow is the rise of a European society with lack of knowledge. 

Measures:

-  Promote the interest for the studies among the students by the use of grants and         educational programmes.

-      Unify the educational system between the State Members to eradicate their differences.

-     Teach the same subjects and invest the same hours for each subject in each country.

-     Reduce university fees to let more students study in the European university that they want to.

-     Take a compulsory and common exam for all the students who want to enter at the university.

-     Require the same level for all the teachers and strengthen the figure of this job because they are the ones who prepare the future generations.

Conclusions:

As Spanish and European students we are worried about the current situation we are living. This provokes a feeling of insecurity about how our future is going to be like. Looking at the graphic above, we can see that there are important educational differences between countries. For this reason, we think that our proposal should be studied by the MEPs.
