Return to beginnings of Bologna Process

Brussels, 17/05/2011 (Agence Europe) - At its 60th meeting in Tallinn, the European Students Union (ESU) adopted a declaration criticising the “increasing lack of commitment to fulfilling even the simplest Bologna goals”. It calls for minimum standards to be met in order to have a truly comparable and flexible education system across Europe. “We urge for a minimum set of standards that ensures a qualitative and integrated education system which in turn will facilitate European-wide mobility”, said ESU Chairman Bert Vandenkendelaere. According to the ESU, responsibility for the implementation of the Bologna Process is being pushed around between higher education institutions, governmental level structures and the European level, as a huge problem endangering the coherence and usefulness of the envisaged Bologna reforms.
