The EU is planning to control education and training via laying down arbitrary performance indicators. The European Commission policy proposals will also allow it to begin taking control over the fight against illiteracy in children.

The EU’s plans will also allow for more students from outside of the European Union to use Britain’s education and training facilities. And allow it to influence how much the UK spends on higher education.
