EUROPEAN EDUCATION AND TRAINING SYSTEMS
(12677/06)
Letter from the Chairman to Bill Rammell
MP, Minister for Life-long Learning, Further and Higher Education,
Department for Education and Skills
Your Explanatory Memorandum dated 3 October
2006 was considered by Sub-Committee G on 2 November.
We note your view that the content of the Communication
is clear and useful, and that the UK already has policies in place
to promote educational equity in the four areas covered.
We share your concern that the Communication
reiterates the Commission's assertion that there is a need for
a Higher Education spending target of 2% of GDP, and we welcome
the information that the UK, along with a number of other Member
States, has resisted this. On the basis that this will continue
to be the position, we are content to release this document from
scrutiny.
