'We need to promote different schools but also variety of teaching styles, methods and programs within a school and within a classroom' - the Portugese Vice-Minister of Education, Jorge Miguel Pedreira, said at the opening of the symposium. According to Mr. Mauro (Vice-President of European Parliament), the state can not decide what to teach and how to educate children because education is about the meaning of human life and not about the needs of modern market. It is parents' right to choose the school for their children, and the state must guarantee this freedom to all families.
