Brussels, 12/05/2015 (Agence Europe) - The Education Ministers from the 47 countries participating in the Bologna Process met up on Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14 May in Yerevan to discuss the progress achieved in creating a Higher Education Area in Europe. The aim is to improve the systems already in place and promote greater student mobility and the quality of teaching. The most recent report published on 12 May by the Eurydice network, The European Higher Education Area in 2015: Bologna Process Implementation Report, demonstrates that although progress has been accomplished, there is still a lot to do if the targets are to be attained. On average, only 7 out of 10 students complete their higher education courses and the rates pertaining to the completion of higher education vary between just 30% and 50% in half of the countries participating in the process. Tibor Navracsics, the commissioner for education, who took part in the Yerevan Summit explained: “We cannot afford this loss of talent. All governments that are part of this effort must step up the pace of reforms in higher education to improve the success of our students. We will provide evidence to help them put these reforms into practice”. (Isabelle Lamberty)
