Voices into Action: Including the Voices of Learners and their Families in Educational Decision-Making – Final Summary Report

The Voices into Action (VIA) activity examined how to meaningfully involve the voices of learners and their families in educational decision-making processes. It aimed to:

• establish the background and rationale for the widely recognised need to involve learner and family voices in decision-making;
• identify how policy-makers and other stakeholders might meet this need in practice, in different countries and different contexts.

This final summary report outlines the methodology and the main outcomes and findings from VIA. It presents key messages for policy-makers – and for all education stakeholders – to enable meaningful participation of learners and families.
