European Education Forum
The education system in Europe may become
corporatized due to pressure from international treaties like
GATS. Some people think that since education is a
human right, it should not be subject to the
free market, and that since
corporations usually have the political structure of a
dictatorship and the economic structure of
communism (a centralised, planned economy), they (corporations) should not have the right to influence the budgets or decision-making in educational institutions such as
schools and
universities.
The first European Education Forum (EEF) for ordinary people to discuss these issues is planned for 18-20 September 2003 in Berlin, Germany.
