  6. Allocating Money According to Population

  7. To our mind, allocating money according only to the population would not lead to a sufficient and sustainable result in education systems in EU. • Even if it could suit our bigger members , like Belgium, UK, France, Germany , etc., total ignorance of the latest changes in data on immigration, emigration, employment and density in each state lead to a total ignorance of recent problems in education in EU.

  10. A smallCommentonpreviousData • Latvia Central Statistical Bureau has recently informed EU, on March 1, 2011 in Latvia were 2 074 605 persons. • In comparison with data published prior in February, 2011 at Eurostat (based on population Register data), it has the number of population reduced for155 000. • The population in Latvia has decreased for about 309 thousands or 13% since the previous population census in 2000.

  17. WhileintheOtherMemberStates • Immigration exceeds emmigration • There is a severe competence that forces residents to go abroad or receive unemployment insurances • People from Latvia tend to gain citizenship abroad. With this, they can receive unemployment insurances and other social benefits abroad that are significantly bigger than in Latvia.

  24. Butagain, wouildnot it belike a strugglewith a windmill? • The money is divided without taking into account the number of population in larger member states. • A significant part of the unemployed in countries with more imigrants than emigrants is made by immigrants.

  25. Ineducationthatwouldmean: Teachers have to struggle with students : • who have different cultural and religious backgrounds; • who havedifferent lagguage of their knowledge because educational systems are slightly different across the European Union and very different across all the world;
