6. Student mobility and global market place 

It is recommended that a standard approach to the use of IPA phonetic conventions for transcribing normal and disordered speech should be adopted across Europe and that this should be a core component of educational courses. Further consideration might be given to the definition of minimum standards in phonetics which could be recognised across Europe for all students of S&LT. (CD 11)
It is recommended that further work should be done at a European level to evaluate educational and professional standards in SLT and to facilitate good practice in education. This may be done through activities such as development and sharing of curricular resources or the development of an advisory network including representative professional bodies and educationalists in SLT. (CD 12)
CPLOL advocates a variety of clinical placements in the basic education of SLTs. In line with Socrates objectives, we would advocate student and staff exchanges between a variety of academic institutions, facilitating the development of equality of standards in SLT across Europe. (CD 13)

Larger coordinated efforts are needed to promote mobility through international recognition of credits and commonly agreed degree requirements. (CL 6)
Links between education and research need to be strengthened. (CL 11)
Lifelong learning needs to take place. (CL 12)

We recommend awareness actions to make students and prospective students aware of the offers in NEL (in particular new job profiles) including computer applications in NEL. Those awareness actions could be carried out through Web dissemination, associations, contacts with the media, local student advisers, etc. The target groups to be informed are both secondary school and university students.
