Bad education
25 May 20094The Irish Times Dublin
Easier and cheaper enrolment plus courses taught in English: for young Brits, studying in the Netherlands is the fashionable new trend for escaping the problems besetting universities back home. 
There is nothing anodyne about the violent student protests in London, writes Dagens Nyheter, now that the controversy surrounding the hike in college fees has raised the question of the cost of university education for the masses. 
The education sector in Europe has been hard hit by cuts in budgets, personnel and investment. Some universities, e.g. in the UK, might even have to be closed down. And some leading institutions could soon lose their top international rankings.
A third of Roma children in the Czech Republic attend special schools for the mentally handicapped. A situation against which a number of associations are speaking out, and which ends up backfiring on the state when it has to foot the social and economic bill. 
European university reforms keep rocking the Continental campus. For several weeks now, German students have been objecting to the excessive workload and deplorable conditions at university. And the row over the merits and demerits of the “Bologna process” is raging all across the nation’s press. 
French university reforms saw the birth of revolts and street protests, but also the emergence of alternative higher education projects. Cafebabel reports from self-governing universities that aim to abolish hierachy and reiterate the much-attacked notion that education is an end in itself, and not just about getting a job. 
Over the last two weeks, Austrian students demanding a free education have taken control of Vienna's universities. But the question of higher education financing should not be a taboo subject, argues economist Andreas Schibany in Der Standard. 
In Denmark's Højskoles, there are no examinations, the timetable is open and you learn at your own speed. Cafébabel.com gives the thumbs up to a type of education free of "competition" where students can "freely express their creativity". 
The European Higher Education Area arrives is officially launched at the start of 2010, with the aim to harmonise studies across the European space. But in what language? With European universities offering more and more university degree programmes in English, their British counterparts are beginning to worry about losing their “competitive edge”, notes El País. 
After being closed down by the goverment in 2004, Minsk's European Humanities University is now based in Lithuania, with some help from the EU. Its aim is to educate the elite that will run the democratic Belarus of the future. 
Since 1987, 1.7 millions students have benefited from the Erasmus university exchange programme. Twenty years on, has it helped forge a European spirit? asks Le Monde. 
A nation is reeling from the findings of the Child Abuse Commission in which rape and sexual molestation were "endemic" in Irish Catholic church-run industrial schools and orphanages. Fintan O'Toole in the Irish Times wonders how a society could have consigned children "to a system of terror."
