Thanks to the cooperation between the EJC and AEGEE I am currently in Budapest covering the YVote on Education. Although education is probably an interesting topic to all, complete coverage of the event on this platform might be a little bit too much. For those who insist: click here.
However, at one of the panel debates Dr. Liviu Matei from the Central European University made an interesting suggestion.
The issue: Most universities have not sufficiently adapted their programmes and teaching to facilitate Lifelong Learning. Therefore, in most cases, adults wanting to follow training on an academical level are most of the time still at a disadvantaged position compared to their younger colleagues.
Dr. Liviu’s recommendation: In the same way as it is common in the academical community to reward research-related achievements, teaching achievements should also be rewarded on a European level. Such an award could possibly stimulate the efforts on the side of the academical teachers to share their knowledge with everybody who is willing to learn; not only the adults-in-training, but also the real ones.
