EU Commissioner Maria Gabriel said that if elected to be responsible for Education and Youth Policy, she would work for the introduction of a common European student’s card. Barriers to young Europeans stopping them from traveling and studying everywhere in the EU need to be eliminated, she said. The world has already become digital, as well as our children, but education has not yet been restructured, Gabriel said. She added that preserving Europe's cultural heritage, including in digital form, will be one of the main objectives. The Bulgarian candidate supports broadening horizons for European scientists, as economic progress depended on their discoveries.
