On 16 November, the Agency participated in a seminar discussing how policies and technology support inclusive education. This event took place in the European Parliament and was organised by Ádám Kósa MEP, in co-operation with Helga Stevens MEP, Silvia Costa MEP and the Agency.

In March, the Agency member countries met to discuss the initial outcomes of an exciting new activity that the Agency has developed and tested with a pilot group of member countries. These Country Policy Review and Analysis (CPRA) activities are a new approach to analysing inclusive education policies.

The country reactions were very positive, so the country representatives will meet again in May to decide how to make CPRA an on-going activity within the Agency’s Multi-Annual Work Programme 2014–2020.

I am happy to announce that Croatia has become an observer country of the Agency in 2014. We warmly welcome Croatia into our organisation and look forward to working with Croatia when it becomes the Agency’s 29th member country in the near future.
