Thematic Country Cluster Activities
As part of its aim to be an active agent for change, the Agency has developed a new way of working with its member countries. The Thematic Country Cluster Activities (TCCA) began in 2023, addressing Agency member countries’ priorities by working in small clusters of countries.
Country System Mapping
In a departure from the Agency’s previous thematic activities, Country System Mapping (CSM) considers the whole education system. It examines how certain structures, mechanisms and processes may impact on the implementation of inclusive education policy in practice.
Technical Support Instrument actions
Since 2018, the Agency has been a technical provider for several actions under the Technical Support Instrument (TSI), previously known as the Structural Reform Support Programme (SRSP). The European Commission’s DG Reform provides technical support to EU countries that wish to reform their public systems.
Legislative Definitions around Learners Vulnerable to Exclusion
The Legislative Definitions around Learners Vulnerable to Exclusion desk research activity addresses how Agency member countries legally define concepts around learners who are vulnerable to exclusion.
European Agency Statistics on Inclusive Education
The Agency’s data collection activity (EASIE) provides focused data that informs country policy priorities on inclusive education, the European Commission’s strategic objectives on inclusive education and the implementation of Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006).
Key Principles
The Key Principles publications systematically present recurring messages in Agency work that support the implementation of high-quality education for all learners.
Teacher Professional Learning for Inclusion
The Teacher Professional Learning for Inclusion (TPL4I) project sets out to explore key aspects of this issue. The initial project work aims to identify the essential policy elements needed to prepare all teachers to include all learners.
Country Policy Review and Analysis
The goal of the Country Policy Review and Analysis (CPRA) work is to aid country reflection regarding the development of policy for inclusive education. It aims to act as a tool for stimulating discussion in the country concerned.
Inclusive Early Childhood Education
The 3-year Inclusive Early Childhood Education (IECE) project focuses upon the fact that early childhood educational experiences have an important impact on a person’s life – provision of high quality early childhood education has positive effects on achievement and social adaptation of children.
Raising the Achievement of All Learners in Inclusive Education
The Raising the Achievement of All Learners in Inclusive Education project aims to provide evidence of effective practice in raising achievement and building the capacity of schools and communities to include and support all learners. This work builds on the previous Raising Achievement for all Learners (RA4AL) Agency project.
ICT for Information Accessibility in Learning
The ICT4IAL project is a multi-disciplinary network of European and international partners that represent both learning and ICT communities aiming to raise awareness and increase the visibility of the issue of accessible information provision and its relevance for equitable lifelong learning opportunities and support accessible information provision within organisation.
Vocational Education and Training: Policy and Practice in the field of Special Needs Education
This project aims to identify and investigate the relevant key aspects of VET programmes for learners with SEN, with a clear link to employment opportunities. In particular, the project investigates what works in VET for learners with SEN and why.
