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.
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.
Preventing School Failure: Examining the Potential of Inclusive Education Policies at System and Individual Levels
The Preventing School Failure (PSF) project highlights the link between school failure and inclusive policies. It particularly aims to examine the evidence to suggest that inclusive education policies have the potential to prevent school failure – both in relation to individuals and the overall system.
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 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.
Raising Achievement for All Learners – Quality in Inclusive Education
The RA4AL project aims to address the ways in which inclusive policy and practice can raise the achievement of all learners.
