	EUROPA - Education and Training - Higher education
		Higher education plays a central role in the development of both human beings and modern societies as it enhances social, cultural and economic development, active citizenship and ethical values.
		At European level, education in general and higher education in particular are not subjects of a « common European policy » : competence for the content and the organisation of studies remains at national level.
		At the same time, the higher education sector and institutions are fully involved in the European initiatives presently on-going in the field of e-learning and in the area of Lifelong Learning.

		European higher education institutions reaffirm their support to the principles of the Bologna Declaration and their commitment to the creation of the European Higher Education Area by the end of the decade.
		European higher education institutions accept the challenges of operating in a competitive environment at home, in Europe and in the world, but to do so they need the necessary managerial freedom, light and supportive regulatory frameworks and fair financing, or they will be placed at a disadvantage in co-operation and competition.
		The European Higher Education Area must be built on the European traditions of education as a public responsibility; of broad and open access to undergraduate as well as graduate studies; of education for personal development and lifelong learning; and of citizenship as well as of short and long-term social relevance.

		Higher education enables students to acquire the skills and the knowledge they need further in life, both personally and professionally.
		Higher education institutions are important actors in civic society; therefore all members of the higher education community should be involved.
		Students therefore are not consumers of a tradable education service, and as a consequence it is the governments' responsibility to guarantee that all citizens have equal access to higher education, regardless of their social background.

	EUROPEAN HIGHER EDUCATION AREA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The European Higher Education Area describes a state of affairs or the desired outcome of what is currently a process, and I will therefore concentrate on this process, which I will refer to as the Bologna Process for short, without attaching any value judgments to the name.
		However, higher education is no longer a “once in a lifetime experience” – if it ever was – and higher education institutions must adapt to this reality, not from a sense of obligation or lack of alternatives but in search of new opportunities.
		In both areas, I believe decisions will still be taken at national level, whether that implies by a national agency, a federal authority or individual higher education institutions or professional bodies, but increasingly, the policies, criteria and procedures according to which such decisions will be taken will be developed and agreed internationally.

	The European Higher Education Area at the crossroads
		Higher education in Europe is no longer regarded solely as the phase in which the individual cultivates his intelligence, humanity and citizenship; it is explicitly recognized as a major economic factor, representing the prosperity, well being and the power of our democratic states (fifteen at that time).
		Heads of State and Government in Lisbon have explicitly called on education systems to become ‘competitive’, one year after their Ministers for Higher Education did so at Bologna, in a spirit of economicism which is disturbing both to the opponents of LMD and altermondialist mobility.
		Governments use it to hide their refusal to deal at EU level with a subject so strategic for the Union’s future as higher education; it is a highly convenient pretext for nations to evade the responsibility for structural reforms, always necessary and suddenly indispensable because of an abstract and disembodied European constraint.

		An open European area for higher learning carries a wealth of positive perspectives, of course respecting our diversities, but requires on the other hand continuous efforts to remove barriers and to develop a framework for teaching and learning, which would enhance mobility and an ever closer cooperation.
		Thus, joint European action on higher education was not high on the agenda of the European Council of Ministers.

	Academic degree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A degree is any of a wide range of status levels conferred by institutions of higher education, such as universities, normally as the result of successfully completing a program of study.
		As study in the arts or in grammar was a necessary prerequisite to study in subjects such as philosophy, medicine and law, the degree of doctor assumed a higher status than the master's degree.
		This is indicated by the abbreviation "(Hons)" and is often a prerequisite for progression to a higher level of study.

		Every two years a Ministerial Conference is organised where Ministers responsible for higher education of all participating countries gather to evaluate the progress and to set guidelines and priorities for the upcoming period.
