Leonardo rides again
Article Abstract:
Outgoing director of independent think-tank the Federal Trust and Member of the European Parliament Andrew Duff, argues that a drastic change is needed in the European Commission's approach to education. He argues that complaints about slowness, bureaucracy and accountability highlight the need for a major reappraisal. Viviane Reding has taken over responsibility for education and culture following the clear-out of European Commissioners in summer 1999. Meanwhile education ministers are taking steps towards greater harmonisation of higher education in Europe.
