Education Working Group

The European Left Party is against the process of transforming Higher Education into a motor of the neoliberal economic model in the interest of private business and the market. We are supporting a European University as a public and free service, able to guarantee all the citizens’ right to free access to knowledge and science The EL has to promote strong and efficient policies of resistance to the neoliberal project, and to contribute to the creation and consolidation of students’, professors’ and citizens’ unions, movements and networks ready to fight in that direction.

We are convinced that only a widespread consciousness and awareness about the real aims of the Bologna Process can change that trend. The real battle means to defend the human right to education as a free and public good, that is, free of the bondage of the market forces, a battle that would substantially contribute to the European Space through the education of citizens sensitive and alert to the safeguarding and promotion of  justice, peace and the common welfare of the people.
