Main problems, issues and options faced by students with special educational needs in 16 European countries.

The topic "Transition from School to Employment" was selected by the European Agency member countries as a result of the perceived importance of this field and the shared interest regarding the problems related to training, qualifications and employment of young people with special educational needs.

The report addresses three areas:

1. Main problems faced by students with special needs, their families and practitioners regarding transition from school to employment.
2. Key aspects that need to be considered in the field of transition, taking into account existing problems.
3. Main factors which seem to either facilitate or prevent the implementation of a successful transition process at the practical level.

The analysis of the three areas listed above has resulted in the identification of recommendations for the future of transition. They are addressed to policy makers and practitioners and aim to provide guidance on how to improve the development and implementation of the process of transition.
