eBulletin December 2012
In 2012 the Agency finalised five projects, resulting in various outcomes and publications now available on the Agency website. Three of the five projects ended with a final project conference in 2012 involving experts from all Agency member countries and a high number of international stakeholders and policy makers: Teacher Education for Inclusion (TE4I) in February, Raising Achievement for all Learners (RA4AL) in June and most recently, the Vocational Education and Training (VET) conference in November.
Project Conference
The Raising Achievement for all Learners conference was held on 13–15 June 2012 in Odense, Denmark. The conference, co-hosted by the Agency and the Danish Ministry of Education and the Odense municipal authorities, was recognised as an event held under the Danish Presidency of the European Union.
The conference aimed to:
VET Country Study Visit - Detailed Reports
The VET study visits took place between November 2010 and June 2012 and comprised 28 study visits to the selected VET examples. The detailed reports are available to download below. In some cases, additional files like presentations from study visits are also available in the ZIP file.
Pattern overview
An analysis of the individual country study visits took place with the aim of identifying patterns, i.e. collections of success factors that frequently occur together throughout several examples/study visits.
Country policy context
In order to better understand the VET project outcomes, it is essential to have a general overview of the relevant situation in each of the countries involved. The project made use of existing information from relevant national reports, namely the CEDEFOP country reports on VET systems. All participating countries had previously produced CEDEFOP reports, which were then updated by the national experts where they were out of date as a result of changes that have taken place in the respective country’s VET system.
Country Study Visits
The aim of the practical analysis was to explore factors that might have a positive or negative impact on VET processes and the outcomes for individual learners with SEN/disabilities. It also aimed to explore the inter-relationships between different factors (some might be essential, while others might be contradictory or mutually exclusive, etc.).
ICT for Inclusion
The ICT4I project focuses on the use of ICT to support the learning of learners with disabilities and special educational needs in inclusive settings within compulsory education.
Organisation of Provision to Support Inclusive Education
The Organisation of Provision to Support Inclusive Education project collected information on how Agency member countries organise and evaluate provision for learners with disabilities in mainstream schools, and provides an analysis of policy and practice that had a major influence on the success of inclusive education.
Country Exhibition Materials
At the RA4AL project conference in Odense in the context of an exhibition, country experts had the opportunity to share materials on their work and on initiatives and approaches that appear to be successful in improving the quality of education in inclusive settings.
The following countries have contributed to this exhibition. You can download or view the materials at the links below:
