European protest campaign 2003:

Education Group Charter European Social Forum ESF Florence, 2002 


Principles, which must guide our actions and which must guide the
construction of the Europe of Education: 


1. Education is a right, not a commodity. Education must be a public
service, free and secular. Its financing must be public. 


2. The mission of education is to educate, form and qualify workers,
citizens and humans. Economic profits must not guide its objectives. Education also
has a role of fostering social change. 


3. Research and knowledge must develop in all fields in freedom and must
respond to the needs of societies. 



4. Education must also allow the success of a greater number of people. The
democratisation of Education systems is necessary all over Europe. The
raising of the general level of education must be an objective.


5. Against the logic of deregulation and  "competencies" for
"employability". It is necessary to promote qualifications determined by social needs and
recognised by all in Europe. 


6. Lifelong Learning is a right for all workers and citizens.


These principles force us to place education at the heart of the
construction of Europe for an other globalisation. The next ESF must give a more
important place to education. We will participate in campaigns for an other Europe
in the world. We will  support and carry out joint campaigns on the European
level to defend our vision of the Europe of Education. 


The main principles of these campaigns are:


Education for all
Democratisation of the education systems
The rejection of the integration of education into the fields of trade
liberalisation- No to GATS!


We therefore call upon the education community for a day of action in Europe
on March 13th 2003 against GATS and for public education under the motto
"Education not profit". We also want to prepare the next meeting of education
ministers in Berlin in 2003 about the process of European educational
integration.
