CESI Education Committee

On 27th February 2003 the Committee for Education and Training of the CESI held a meeting in Brussels. Its members elected Monique Cartigny (CSEN, France) president. Vice-presidents are Ernst Schmeer (dbb, Germany) und Joao Grancho (ANP, Portugal).
 
After an in-depth discussion about the status of teachers, their training and profile as well as the decreasing attractiveness of the teachers’ profession the Committee called for a "Teachers’ Charta". In it their legal status and a job outline should be recorded. A draft will be worked out by summer.
 
Further topics under discussion were, among other things, Communications of the European Commission regarding "European benchmarks and investments in education and training" and "Investing efficiently in education and training". A report regarding the mobility of students and apprentices was discussed in detail, too.
