This Technical Support Instrument (TSI) project ran from 2020–2022. EASNIE helped to design a system for monitoring the implementation of Portugal’s Law on Inclusive Education. The monitoring system includes standards and an accompanying set of indicators, as well as guiding questions to promote reflection and exploration.
More information about this project is available on SG REFORM's TSI website.
Outputs and deliverables
A final report presents the work conducted by EASNIE to provide the Portuguese Ministry of Education with a system to monitor the implementation of the Decree Law 54/2018 on inclusive education.
As a result, a monitoring system is provided where six standards and eleven indicators have been identified.
Standards and indicators have been validated by the use of tools such as individual interviews of decision-makers and key stakeholders, an online survey addressed to directors, co-ordinators and those responsible for support services from 16 school clusters, and a fieldwork conducted with 9 school clusters. The fieldwork has comprised school visits and focus groups with directors, co-ordinators, education and non-education staff, as well as parents and learners.
